Dial in your ergonomics on your batwing fairing Harley with the Hofmann Designs Billet Pull Back Plate. This black-anodized plate is CNC machined from T6061 aluminum, providing a crucial ¾ inch rise and 2½ inches of pull-back for your handlebars. It's the perfect solution for riders looking to run custom risers or T-bars on their Tour models.
Why riders pick this
- CNC machined T6061 billet aluminum construction
- Raises handlebar mounts ¾ inch with 2½ inch pull-back
- Allows custom riser or T-bar setups on batwing fairings
- Sleek black finish complements your fairing
- Improves riding ergonomics and comfort
Many riders find the stock handlebar position on batwing fairing models less than ideal for long hauls or aggressive riding. This Hofmann Designs Billet Pull Back Plate addresses that by repositioning your handlebar mounts, bringing them closer to the rider and slightly higher. The result is a more comfortable and controlled riding posture, reducing strain and enhancing your connection to the bike.
Enhanced Riding Position
- CNC machined from robust T6061 billet aluminum
- Provides ¾ inch of rise and 2½ inches of pull-back for handlebars
- Enables the use of custom risers or T-bar setups on batwing fairings
- Black anodized finish for a sleek, integrated look
- Made in the USA for superior quality and fitment
Installation Considerations for Batwing Models
Designed specifically for Harley-Davidson FLHT Touring models with batwing fairings, this pull-back plate transforms your cockpit. Riders with 2014 and newer models will need to remove the ignition switch and activate keyless ignition. For 1996-2013 models, the ignition switch will need to be removed or relocated, and the fork lock feature will be disabled. These modifications are straightforward for a custom shop or a capable home mechanic, allowing you to achieve the perfect handlebar setup.
