Looking for ideas for new bars for my '15 cvo limited, anybody have any experience. I've changed several bars on regular model limiteds and street glides, not sure if it's any different on the cvo models.
What bars do you have and what are the pros and cons?
I've had the khrome werks 2+2 on my past limiteds but with the heated seat I feel like I'm closer to the fairing and don't need the 2" pull back.
fwiw I'm 5'8" average build.
Thanks in advance

 

I am 6'4" and have 10" LA Choppers. My brother has 10" Yaffe but I have a '14 Limited and didn't want the peaks in the middle. The LA bars are about an inch narrower at the grips but I like both. The 10" put my knuckles slightly in the wind, but so far haven't been hit by anything. They are great. Haven't ridden with bigger bars though.

 

I have 10" Yaffe's and I am changing them out this week with Wild 1 12.5" bagger apes. I am 5'10" and I don't think the 10's are high enough (I had 12's on my last bike). There is also not a lot of pullback with the Yaffe's or other similar bars (like the Wild 1 Reapers). The traditional apes offer more pullback.

 

Do you think the wo578's offer more adjustability? Looking to keep my hands at top of fairing if I can, I've heard the twin peaks didnt have much for pull back flexibility either.

 

They will definitely have more pullback and offer more adjustments. I live close to Wild 1 and rode up to their factory and bought my WO577's directly from them.

They said their Reaper Apes (which are almost identical to the Yaffe's) are not really meant to be pulled back because you get weird wrist angles. Their 12" Reapers only have 9" of pullback where the 12.5" Bagger Apes have 11". I think the 10" Bagger Apes have even more.

They also said you can adjust the Bagger Apes more because they are bent differently. My Bagger Apes are very flat after the bend, so it definitely makes sense that you can pull them back more without getting weird wrist angles.

My 10" Yaffe's are pulled back as far as possible (they were killing my back pushed forward) and the closest part of the grips are only 8" from the inside fairing (measured from the flat spot where the factory mirrors were). When I put my Bagger Apes up next to them the extra pullback is very noticeable.

I should have the new bars on Friday, so I can try and take some pics to compare my Yaffe's to the WO's.

 

I'm 5'9" and have 10" mini apes on my nightster. I think they are perfect for guys/girls our size. Hands will be a notch below shoulder heigth. Nothing will go numb and still have good steering command.
