pull back / riser bars
Does anybody know how much slack there is in the clutch cable and brake lines that will allow you to change handle bars for a little more pull back or rise. I would like to raise mine a bit for a more comfortable riding position and possibly a little more steering leverage. The other possibility would be to lower the seat by shaving off some foam, What do you guys think ? ? ?

Bars
I put WO 575 bars on my Tri, they are 2 up and 2 back and out 2 and 1 1/4 diameter. Love them, others on here have them and all praise. I had to put a 4 inch longer clutch cable to route it properly. I put all the wires inside, ALL the wires included heated gripes and reverse. You need to make the wires about 12 inches longer for ease of routing. The bars being wider make it steer easier, took a little time to get used too them but the width is a great thing. Thanks, Jerry

Your comparing an apple to a watermelon when you compare a Dyna Wide glide to a Touring framed Trike. I know when my dad did the Harley pull back bars he had to lengthen several things.

bars
According to the catalogue it looks like there is one optional bar for the Tri Glide which is a 2" pull back 56176-08.Are these the bars that people are using and How much of the fairing has to be disassembled to change these bars ( big job ??? ) or not bad ??? The book also lists longer brake lines and clutch cables for these bars.

Bars
I had everything removed from the trike in 1 1/2 hours, the only thing that took any time was putting the wires inside. If you are not going to do that, just change bars and clutch cable probably a 3 1/2 hour job. Front of fairing and switch panel on inner fairing, bar clamp and clutch cable are all that has to be removed. Move switch housings form one bar to another. Only trick is getting the ignition switch off, read or ask someone to show you the trick to get the switch off, nothing to it. Thanks, Jerry

When I looked in the catalogue at the bars right below they list the replacement cables ane brake lines that are required for the pull-back bars ;;;;; are these actually what you need. I hope the bars are the problem as I get a pain in my neck after not to many miles I think it's riding position, I feel like I am reaching for the bars a little to much. So I'm not quite sure what to do.
