Sweepers or the bucks, either would be a good choice.
Hundreds of choices when it comes to bars I would guess.
What is it about these two that make them more desireable
to you than the HD product??

Hard to say ... I guess the fact that I can at least see them to get a mental picture of what they'd look like on the bike. Harley has the chart in the Catalog and that's about it. I suppose I could just go with BoB bars, cables, and lines through Harley. I called Kromeworks and they said that the Sweepers would fit with stock lines .... I'm skeptical .... but since it will be a Winter project it wont be a big deal if I need something. I'm still thinking over all the options in my head LOL .
When I got my '03 WG it had slammers on it, internally wired. I r&r'd them with a set of '06 1 1/4" mini's (what comes on them stock). I had to get a set of stock risers and clamps from HD for the beefier bars, and just like mudpuddle, loved the way the bars matched up with the 41mm forks and the 1 1/4" engine guard I had just recently added. All the stock cables, wires (internals) as well as the brake line all worked so none had to be replaced. I gave my 1" stock mini's to my son and we put them on his '88 Sporty and they look great on his bike.
My personal opinion. Whiffs bike looks awesome with those bars. They look very comfy. What the BOB should have came with straight out of the factory. just my observation only
Chubby 8.5" Baby Apes WO513 from Wild1 installed on my '05 FXDI Super Glide:
H-D Stainless steel braided clutch cable, part no. 56590-02
H-D Stainless steel braided brake line, part no. 45206-97B
H-D Stainless steel braided throttle / idle kit, part no. 56370-03A
H-D Front turn signal relocation kit (to fork), part no. 68517-94A
These cables are for a Wide Glide and fit perfectly on my Super Glide with the Baby Apes, which are 4" higher and 4" wider than the stock bars. I had to splice the wires to run inside the bars (there was only about 2" of slack on the stock harness). Will also need Transmission Fluid and front cover gasket for the tranny to change the clutch cable. Also don't forget brake fluid (DOT 5 for my '05) and Super Oil to lube the cables. Well worth the 500 bucks for all the parts and $150 to my buddy for the help. It took about 6 hours to do the job. Much more comfortable than the stock bars and look pretty sweet!
Reviving this thread 'cause I want to get this kind of handlebar, any modification to this recipe for the '07 superglides? Or can the same parts be used? I love the looks of this bke! Any help appreciated, I am wanting to do this with as little trouble as possible (if possible) winter project, prolly'.
Try calling Chicago Harley, 1888-338-6868, ask for parts, and tell them what it is you are wanting to do. The guy set me up perfectly with my 1 1/4"ers.
Got Wild1 14" bars. Think tha park number for Drag is 0601-0661.
Got + 6 Barnett Braided cables. Throttle, idle, clutch,brake and a Kit for the trees. You might have to order the kit from Wild1 also.
Extended wiring harness.
you can go to wild1 web site and call them and they will tell you what is for yer bike and the part number and can cross reference it to a drag number. Then you can deceide if you want to do the job, the dealer or yer indy shop. Its a pretty good amount of work.
