I have the WO577 on my 14 Ultra and love them. Your hands will be above the fairing and you will need new lines.

 

Probably,if you call them they can be more specific about the differences between the handlebars you're interested in and they can also suggest which cables you need longer.

 

It's always best to take a measurement of what height bar that you really want. Body height to handlebar height is not a good consideration.

We always recommend taking a tape measure and have someone help you do this: Sit on the bike in the position that you ride and place you hands out where you want the bars to be. Have your assistant measure down to the base of the existing bar with the tape and you will have a good idea of what height you want.

Things to consider are: Hands that are higher than your heart may get numb on long rides due to blood flow. The higher the bar, the poorer the handling. The lower the bar, the more strain on your back.

Width, wider bars are usually more comfortable. Some riders prefer the Narrow look though.

If you are looking for a Wild 1 kit, Conventional Ape kit, Yaffe Bagger bar kit or PrimeApe kit, we have all of these available this month on sale. We have the kits with cables, brake lines and wire extensions to help make the process easier for the owner. Let me know if we can help you!

Thank you!

Thank you Ron!!

 

The WO578s will put your hands even with the top the fairing

 

Very interested in going with WO 578's. Can I assume (I know I should never assume) that with the chubby's being 1 1/4" outside diameter, the inside diameter is also bigger? Or is the id the same?

If they are indeed bigger id, and the smooth bends, wouldn't this make these bars easier to wire internally?

 

I just installed my 578's and wiring was easy. They holes are larger under the controls which makes it easier.

 

Did you have to extend everything...wires, clutch cable, brake line, etc? If so, how much longer? I've read different reports of all stock stuff working with a bit of re-routing.

 

The inside diameter is larger except in the controls area and clamping area where the bars reduce down to 1". Wiring installation is easier because of this. If you need a cable/brake line kit, we can supply that for you also.

Thank you!
Ron

 

I bought new clutch and brake lines because i wanted them braided so i got them longer, and I also bought the wire extension kit. Im not a big fan of rerouting the lines and making them hang down to fit, i like them to follow the bars..... just cleaner looking to me.
