14" wild1's here. I wish I would have went for the 16" though. done multiple all day rides. I love the way these bars feel.

I went with Wild Ones 502, 12.5 inch for about a year or so, but just never really liked them. After about an hour in the saddle, pain would start to develop in my elbows and shoulders, plus it seemed more difficult to maneuver around at slow speeds in a parking lot. So, I replaced them with Heritage Style and now much better, but there's still some room for improvement. At any rate, both bars are light years ahead of the POS stock bars.

WO572. I like them. I wouldn't want to go back to any other style.

Hey Mouth, I've got 12.5 Chubbys waiting to be installed on '04 RK once I pick it up out of storage, and I guess I assumed I had to do a full cable change... How tight was keeping the stock stuff, and are you happy with how it turned out?

Plenty of brake line. Clutch is closer...I have a bike with ABS though so yours may be different. Pull the nacelle and look...

I have 16 on mine also and I wouldn't have it any other way. I always loved the ol' Schwinn sting ray bikes when I was a kid and now I have a BIG boy version. LOL

I did 10" WO chubs on my 03...I had to go with +4" brake line and throttle cables...clutch cable barely reached. I got a 12" wire extension kit. Coulda got away with 10" for sure...so far I love them but haven't got a chance to ride with the winter hitting us here...
