On my '10, I used Flanders bars with 2" of pullback and stock width. The HD pullbacks work just as well and according to others on this forum, are chrome, even if the description in the P&A catalog says they're not. Many use Wild Ones WO575s, but they are 34-1/2" wide, about 3-1/2" wider than stock.

Opinions vary on the need for longer clutch hoses. I needed them for mine.

Harley touring pullback bars are 2" up and 2" back several members have used them on their Street Glides. No need for new cables or wire modifications on your bike either.

Heres a link http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/gma_product.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442242105&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302287417&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=2534374302287417&bmUID=1153108636246&bmLocale=en_US

The description states polished stainless but they are actually Chrome

I have a set of WO575's in the garage now and I just held them up next to my stock '11 SESG bars. They are pulled back a bit, but not 3 1/2" wider. I was told these bars wil go on using the existing factory lines and wiring.

X2

x3 on the Harley Touring Pullbacks.  They're 2" up and 2" back.  My wife rides with hers just a bit lower (back) so they're probably stock height and back 3".    The catalog and the website both say that they will not work with fairing mounted mirrors however, you can see that by pulling them back (down) more, she's able to still use fairing mounted mirrors.  You can see a lot of shots of her bike in this thread.  You'll notice in the photos that I got of her actually riding, that with these bars, even riding she has a bend in her elbows........   http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=54514.0
