HD pullback bars vs. Werks 2x2 Narrow sweeper bars
Just trying to see which bars people like the best. I am going to have to get these bars. My upper back and neck are "just" starting to unknot ( so to speak). I just can't decide which one's would be better. <br />
<br />
reading the blogs it looks like 4-5 hours is the normal time for the dealer to switch them out. So we are talking 400-500 dollars labor. <br />
<br />
Any and all other information you have would be appreciated.

The pullback handlebar or as described as the Road King/ Road Glide Reach Bar in the 2020 P&A book is #56166-08.
See page 617 for details(dimensions on page 603).
Thank you and good night.
Try before you buy or in this case 'install'.....
[QUOTE=Zigzag;872590]Does anyone have any experience with the Tall Boy bars from HD. Looking at those for my Tri Glide. Seems the 2plus2 are very popular but the pictures I see their a little bit close to you. Just wondering, thanks[/QUOTE]
I suggest investing in a fexible gas connector for a gas dryer. At least 48" in length. Then you can pick your bar and knowing its dimensions, you can form it on a bench. Once formed as accurately as you can make it, you can install it over your existing bar and see where it takes you. Its only an inch off. Perfect husband and wife project. Sounds hoaky, but it beats investing three hours labor and the cost of a new bar. Some dealer get 10 hrs labor to install a new bar. Some riders do it two or three times before they find the right result. Hey?!!!
Make sure its your back and not your neck....

I went to see my chiropractor only to find out that my upper back and knotted neck was due to forward head posture aggravated by the extra weight of my helmet(Shoei RF-1200, 3.5lbs.). At first, I doubted his diagnosis but when I was able to reproduce the condition just by wearing the helmet in my living room for 20 minutes, I became a believer.
Not saying this is always the case, but it turned out to be a lot cheaper than changing the bars($1200.).
Go figure....
