Khromewerks 300505 sweeper bars

I just ordered Kromewerks +2 sweeper bars (300505) and the necessary cables per "Dawg's advice. The price was right so I'd thought I'd take a shot.
I'd like to hear from anyone else who is running with these bars with their opinions. Do you like them etc.? I know Dawg loves them but he does not have a SG that sits you a little further back than the other glides.

Thanks

RE: Khromewerks 300505 sweeper bars

I bought a set after reading dawgs' articles and pictures last year.
For me , they are about the perfect combination of pullback and wrist position that I could have hoped for.
I always felt like I had to keep my elbows tucked in to get the wrist position right on the stockers.
The 300505 are a nice product , good pricing , and for me , a great value.
As a side benefit , the slow speed maneuvering is much better for me as I don't have to reach for the outside grip in a tight turn.
You may not like the fairing mounted mirrors after the install , but the bar mounted mirrors work even better with the new bars.
I am 5'8" short torso , wide shoulders , long arms , and stock (comfort stitch) seat.
Shoulders feel better on the longer rides now.
One of the best comfort items I've installed yet on my standard.

Mick, I never had a problem with hand/wrist/elbow position on the stock bars maybe because my shoulders are not that wide. I hope the new position is adequate.

Anyone else out there with Kromewerks bars?

RE: Khromewerks 300505 sweeper bars

I put the 300504 sweeper bars on my road glide. They seem to hit the sweet spot for me. I guess the difference between the 300505 and the 504s that I have is the 505s are wider at the clamp and a bit wider grip to grip. For the road glide the narrower at the clamp is perfect for the fairing compartment lids. It's like they were made for them. Also my hands stay in the pocket of protection of the fairing just right. I did max out the clutch cable after relocating it outside the forks. The only thing I'm not happy with is the angle of the clutch cable as it leaves the grip. I think the bars look bitchin' and feel great. I'm finally sitting upright on my glide.
