hey bud, when I had wo501's on my bike, I think they had the same dimensions. if you havn't checked out the wild 1's bars they are deft. worth a glance. pre-drilled, look awsome.

anyways, the clutch cable and the throttle cables should both reach good, but you will probably have to extend your wires out about three inches. Its not too hard of a job, but you will have to pull your tank. I can walk you through it if you don't know how. You'll need to buy some wire down at your local hardware shop, and be able to use a soldering iron and shrink wrap. If you can do all that you can save some bucks at the Harley shop.

good luck.

are those the 501's before the springer front end? i was set to buy those same bars but then found the burly's. i like the little extra rise and not as far pullback. the wiring shouldn't be too hard of a task for me. just undo the switches and dis connect? now removing the tank, whats the right way to do that? or could i just add too what i have going to the bars now?

thanks for the help

Put the bars on and measure them for cables, it is the best way to do it.
