I have the twin peaks,cool looking bar but even all the way back I still am straight armed. Not a lot of pull back. On my 14 TK it is 10" from middle of fairing to end of grips. Height is great behind fairing about heart height just need about 2or3 inches more pull back

Any problem with the heated grips ? Those are 10's right ?

I have the Twin Peaks 10" and they fit me perfect, I am 5'-10" and no more neck and back pain on long rides.

Default Heated grips quit working after installing new bars
I am a newby to this site so forgive me if this post should be somewhere else..

I recently install new 10 inch bars from LA Choppers on my 2014 limited. Everything works but the heated grips. Anyone have any suggestion? Thanks in advance for any help.

I have the 578's and my only complaint is that after grips and levers are on the bars are wider than the fairing. It hasn't been a problem with wind but I'm in Ca. where splitting traffic is legal and necessary.
also the poster is correct that you'll need wire extensions as well as +4" clutch. I didn't have to change brake line but it was just long enough. I couldn't find the exact bar I wanted and the 578 came close. Hand/wrist position is comfortable. Good Luck.

The connector pin tool makes it so easy. I tried using a paperclip before I ordered the pin tool and it sold me on getting the right tool for the right job. I had an old switch housing and I tried it on that. I got some of the pins out, but some of then were stubborn. I got the pin tool and its WAY easier. Pull the scendory lock, put the tool in the hole, push and pull the wire out. Only gets to be a pain in the *** when the wire turns and gets stuck inside the housing and you have to pull the back off to get it out. This is the one I have. Works great. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Harley-GENER...38ce42&vxp=mtr

I love my 10" Twin Peaks bagger bars, just wished it had 1" more of pullback when using my Danny Gray seat. It works fine with the stock seat though.

Maybe an illusion from camera angle. Have not had the opportunity to sit on a bike with either installed or even seen bikes in person with them installed so looking for pros and cons from owners on these bars. Don't have much time to decide since the my bike is in getting repaired from a deer hit and they need to know fairly soon.
I installed the WO578 bars on my 2010 FLHTCU. I love the bars. They are comfortable in every way I was wanting. A huge improvement over the stock bars! The issue of keeping your hands out of the wind may be a deal breaker for you though. My bars are in line with my forks & the first thing I noticed besides the increased height & width was my hands get alot more wind. These bars look great IMO, but they are right at the very top of the fairing. If its important that your hands stay out of the wind you may want to consider WO575,s.
