Cyclemith Bars on Electra Glide : V-Twin Forum: Harley Davidson Forums

I installed the 13" Cyclesmith bars on my 08 FLHTP TBW bike. Finally got done tonight and made a quick ride tonight before the cold front hits.

Special thanks to Hill Country Customs for their outstanding customer support and brake/clutch lines.

The install was not as easy as I hoped. The internal wiring was a pain.

Anyway, I attached a pic. I think they look good on this bike. Better yet, they feel great.

I'll do that and meant to say thanks to you for helping me out with the install questions and where to get the brake/clutch lines, etc too. You really helped a lot

Just did the exact same setup to my '08 SG. I just couldn't do the mirrors over the top of the bars though. Watch your brake proportion block up above your fender for leaks. It will ruin your paint! I called Hill Country and they said they had some bad ones go out. I even tried teflon on mine with no luck. Look great and feel even better! Good job....

With only a 15min test ride, I haven't had enough road time to say on comfort (which is why i made the change). Hands are now just slightly below shoulder level and my hopes are high.

On the proportionn block, I didn't have to mess with any of that since this bike has ABS. Just a longer line run from the ABS block under the right cover.
