I am of the opinion that Wild 1's bars are far nicer than Burly's.

I like the Burley beach bars. I ordered them, and the ebay vendor screwed me. He sent me the wrong bars, my bike was down for a month. He did refund the money, but then he couldnt produce the bars, I won in the auction. So, being an impatient s.o.b., I ordered the wild 1 chubby 550s from Axiom. I got them quick. here is a picture of mine. Someone else will be along to post the burley bars.



and i do like the chubby 550. now that i own them. the are a very well built sturdy bar. and American made. and extremely comfortable to ride.

I've owned both brands of bars. The chrome on both are flawless. I do like the bends of BurlyBrand better than ChubbyWild1. Chubby are more of a flatter, more suttle in lines than Burly's are. Fitment is gonna be up to you. You decide. Good Luck

Burly has the kit that comes with the right length cables. Just something to think about.

Burly's all the way. I like the Wild 1's "ortopedics" (variety), those bars are designed a bit more towards comfort... but we all know that sometimes comfort is a meaninless word againts looks , so, Burly's it is.

Mimo.
