I got the street slammers on mine after having the same problem with the reach. I love them.

Like the look, wish I could try them out without purchasing them. Could you tell me exactly which bars those are? I looked at the wild1 web page and wasn't exactly sure which ones yo had. Also, did you need new wires, brake,clutch lines?

Any chance that you could measure from the top of the steering head to a line between the ends of the bars? Then maybe I could get a better feel for just how far back they are.

Thanks

They're the Wild1Chubby WO560B bars. They have 14.5" of pullback, which really made a world of difference from the original bars. I didn't even realize how much I was bending and how much my back felt it...until the first ride with these new bars.

I did need to replace all the lines. And they're internal wiring bars so the install is kind of rough...but way worth the trouble. I'll try to measure for you this weekend, but no promises as it's a busy weekend. Trust me though...you'll love them.
