Cool....Did you buy the 579's or TP's or both... I too am an ME, numbers are 1 thing, how they fit is real life
agree 100%. The two companies la choppers and wild 1 measure pullback differently, and Harley somehow measures even differently than those two.
I had both. Initially installed TPs, and thought they were cool, until I rode more than 30 minutes - I was leaning forward and reaching causing my upper back to ache and my hips to cramp. I bought the 579s and installed them last night, shipped the TPs back today. As I posted previously, I haven’t ridden with the 579s yet but they are a dream compared to the TPs and stock.

Anxious to see how you like them, I rode the WO to 2500 miles to Sturgis and back and pulled them when I go back, pretty much same as you 34/35 sleeve, 33" inseam 5-11 height

I rode 3300 miles in 5 days back in 2017 with stock everything and felt better than an hour in the saddle with the Twin Peaks.
Would it be crazy or look like crap if the 10” Chuby’s were tilted towered the rider more to match the pull back of the low’s (579’s), yet a little higher than the low’s?
I am 5’6” and was kicking around that idea.
Also Looking forward to hearing what BrandonSmith thinks after some miles on the 579’s.
I just got back after a 2 hour cruise with the 579s installed. I like them a lot. They are comfortable and provide a lot of control of the bike. Very pleased. Here are the pics I promised.
I have khromewerks narrow 2+2 and still get neck and shoulder pain.
Putting on Helibars ES model in next 2 weeks, they have max of 4 inch pullback with all sorts of adjustments. Bars are expensive to do but if you dont get it right it gets more expensive. Reason for me to go with helibars, do it once and be done. But in my case this will be second time but hopefully last time and no shoulder/neck pain.
After a 2 hour ride with the 579s Id still like more pullback.
Have you tried a backrest on longer rides, sometimes the slouching can create a problem also, for me anyways, doesn't look like your seat will take one tho, in the pics,
