they look nice.. how wide are they?

i asked Wild 1 to make me a set of them last summer, they told me no.

i said i wanted 577s, but 2" shorter.....

looks like they changed their mind.

I'm not familiar with the 578s, I have the 577Bs. Mine are 12.5 and look similar. What's the difference? Figures, I no sooner hit the send button and the answer popped up ahead of my post about the same moment.

How are these different from the 575's? I would like to get another couple inches pullback. Not really looking for more height. I have the 575's laid down pretty far but still would like a bit more.

yeah i looked high and low for a set of 10" Bagger Apes late last summer...and came up with NADA !
like i said i even sent emails to WILD 1 asking about 10" and they said they wouldn't make me a set and that they HAD NO PLANS to make 10" bars..
so i bought a set of Yaffe 10" monkey bars back in the fall for a winter project... i tore it all apart about a week and a half ago..and in the middle of it i find out about the NEW 10" 578s !.... WTF..... not that i dont think the Monkeys bars are awesome looking but they are a P.I.A. to install and they cost about TWICE what the 578s are going for...
oh well...guess it all comes down to timing..
for the record i think the 578s are not as tall as the 10" Monkey bars...but thats par for the corse...Yaffe bars tend to run a little tall
