Anyone have Wild1 Chubby Handlebars?
Is anyone using Wild1 Chubby Handlebars? I am looking to upgrade from stock on my Road King. Any advice would be appreciated.

RE: Anyone have Wild1 Chubby Handlebars?
I have the 508's on my Road King and really like them. They have about 4" more pullback, so they really sit you upright. Some have called the grip angle "wheelbarrow-like", and I suppose that's true, but after a week or so I came to prefer that over the angle of the stock bars. Although Wild 1's website says that it's possible to use the stock cables, they don't recommend doing so. I used +2" on the brake, throttle, and idle cables and the stock length clutch cable. My bike is an '07 and the wiring harness had to be lengthened to reach the controls. It's a time-consuming, expensive, and very worthwhile modification!

Good freind of mine did the same. He loves them. Got rid of the constant back ache of reaching for the grips. I know he had diamond back cables put on but I think he could have used some other stock cables of longer length. If you like I could give you his mail address.

575's on my ultra. Beautiful finish, perfect bend. Handlebars are very subjective. That being said, you may want to try on a set if you know someone that has the bars you are interested in. Nothing sucks worse than a set of bars that just dont fit ya.
