The Heritage bars have 13" pb so she would need another 1.50". They would work if I pulled them toward her a bit like I currently have mine. Don't particularly like that look but it's certainly another option to consider.

Im not riding a Deluxe but I have Wildones 504 on my Fatboy and find them very comfortable. On my bike no cables needed to be changed to make them work

Installed the 504's last winter. I did extend my control wires with extenders that I made. Seemed a little to tight or maybe just right, but a wanted a litle more wiggle room. Went with Magnum chomite cables. Used the same clutch cable length. I went with 2-piece design on the brake lines. Really pleased on the mod when completed.

I haven't done much research on cables yet. An Indy we checked with said we might have to change the brake line. Didn't know you could extend them.

508 I believe. Dealer installed and receipt shows Dresser 111 chubby's. Their cross ref. gives the Wild Ones 508 #. I like them, very comfy and no wrist problems on long rides.
