I would like to know how these bars feel compared to stock. Lower back comfort is my main problem with the stock bars. I have apes now and that has helped the matter, but still looking at other ideas.

Ive got the 504 on my bike and like them alot, more comfortable than the stock bars, Im 6'3"and have a C & C seat that lowers me about an 1" so the 504s allowed me to be more upright with less leaning forward. Also the wrist bend are more comfortable than stock.

It is my understanding that the 518 have a little more pullback than the 504 so that shoukd ease the lower back stress depending on your seating position.

If you call Wild Ones they will make some reccommendations to you based on your height ect

Thanks!! They have eased alot of the stress, they do have more pull back thanthe 504's and I think a tad wider [sm=smiley24.gif]....and with the seat in the picture with the backrest it is like cruisin' in a Lazy Boy!! [sm=icon_ladiesman.gif]

I have 'em on my Heritage Classic. They have more pullback than your Fatboy originals. My originalmini-apes were comfy 'cuz you could hang and lean back almost like a La-Z-Boy chair. The WO518's are comfy in a different way. I can't lean back as far, but I'm not as far forward as on the Fatboys. Ican rest my arms on the bars, and I like the wide reach.

Love em on my 07 Fat Boy. Much better than stock. No more feeling like I have to hunch forward all the time. Pics coming soon.
