Default 578 Wild1 Chubbies instead of Harley Pullback bars

Need to change out the stock bars on a 2016 Street Guide Special. I am 5'10" and the stock bars pull me too far forward. I have the pullback bars on my 2011 Ultra Limited.

I need that 1 1/2 to 2 inches pullback to use my rider backrest.

Do the Wild Chubbies have some pullback or are they close to stock in position from the seat?

Your stockers can pull back if you pull the pin that keeps them in place.

The 578's are great and will move you back. Im 6'1 and i love them. Your able to roll them back or move the up quite a ways when u put them on.

578's will be a couple inches up, maybe an inch back and better grip angle. I would not be able to go back anymore or would hit the tank.

Im 5'10" and have the 577's ~ 12.5" and love them. They let me relax and sit back. Not too high and not too low...

Default WO 578 too wide?

I've been looking at the WO 578's for my 2014 SGS. Is the width too much or does it work with the overall design? Wild 1 said the 575's won't work on the 2014. I'm 5'7" with about a 24" reach. Thinking I would rotate them back about 1-2".Wrist angle still good? Looked at the KW sweepers but they may sit too far back from the start.

I went with 578's, I too was worried about the width initially but once I rode it they were fine. I am 5'8" and have a short reach

I also had my stock seat narrowed and lowered almost 2" by Mean City Cycles. This really put me flat footed +, great for manuevering the bike. This also changed the way my feet are sitting on the floor boards, hopefully the bars may help or I need to see about angleing the back of the floorboard down. Don't think there is any adjustment to stock on a 2014.

I have the 577 12.5's they are very comfortable on long trips. The only thing I don't like is the are 4" wider than stock. When doing tight turning it is quite a reach on the far bar and I have long arms.
