578's on my 15 SG. Big difference.

 

I have the 579 Low bars. They fit well , look good , perfect wrist angle imo , and are comfortable.

 

Pictures??????

 

Just had the 579s installed on my Street Glide, and I love them. For me they are much more comfortable than the stock bars. Good wrist angle, arms are a bit more relaxed and I feel like it is a bit more nimble (I'm sure this is due to the improved arm angle).

Only thing I did afterwards was get rid of the fairing mounted mirrors (I was looking at my knuckles) and put some bar mounted mirrors on (really wish I would have done this years ago, the visibility to the side and behind is massively improved with bar mounted mirrors).

 

can you still use your mirrors and any pictures if you got them thank you

 

Crimson: Any chance you can post pictures of your Ultra with the Wild1 579 bars installed?

 

Were you able to install the Wild 1 579 bars without purchasing longer clutch cable and front brake hose?

 

 

Well, I've finally gotten around to the install. Tonight I got to the point where I took the stock bars off. Before I went to the trouble of running the wiring into the new bars and all the rest, I put the new bars on to see the difference. I can't really tell any difference? I had measured the old bars from the grips to my backrest and did the same with the new bars and there's only about a one inch difference. And they feel exactly the same to me. Also when I put the two bars right on top of each other, they seem mostly the same. The only difference seems to be that the 579's are longer on the straight part like in the grip area.

So I'm feeling a bit disappointed for now. Did those of you who made the switch really feel that much difference? I guess it could be that the differences aren't hugely measurable but that when I actually get it back together I'll notice more? It's just that it's quite a bit of work and I don't want to have to do it again.

 

Anybody ever try just rolling the stock bars forward a bit? You'd be surprised how much it raises your hands and arm angle. I wish I had tried it before I invested in a set of new bars that I ended up not liking
