Default Another Q on bars
Hey Guys, In brief: Looking at replacing the stock bars on my ultra. I'm thinking either the 10" twin peaks, or the WO578's. Last year I put a set of Heritage bars on my Suzy Intruder. Loved them! huge difference all around. They measure around 34-35" wide. Can anyone tell me if the TP or the 578 are like a heritage bar? as far as wrist angle? I know the TP measure 35" and the 578's measure 37". Just not sure how the wrist angle will end up. Kind of wish I could just put the Heritage bars on my Ultra and call it a day... All input much appreciated! Thanks

Can't speak for the WO's but the wrist angle on the TP's are what I would call perfect. Very natural feel to them. In other words, when your holding the TP's your wrist aren't tweaked at all.

2010 Limited with some stuff!!

Totally agree!! The only issue with the twin peaks for me was the lack of pullback in the design of the bars. They are made to sit against the fairing which (to me) looks the best anyways. However they just do not have enough pullback for me. I'm 5'8 and I have to reach for the bar which causes me to kind of round my shoulders forward and for me it just wasn't comfortable. The fit and finish on the Twin Peaks is second to none in my opinion. Great looking bar!! The wrist angle is really good!!

Good Luck!!

Thanks guys! Been pounding through the "search" mode today... I'm leaning towards the TP's. Being 6'1'' and on the longer arm side, looks like these may fit the bill.

No need to be nervous. These bars are easy as pie to wire up. Take your time and draw detailed pics of your molex connectors and what color wire goes where. You'll be fine.

Thanks for the encouragement. Hoping I can just re-route the clutch and brake line...at least for now. I'm wondering if I'm gonna need the TBW extension...

If your going with 10's you won't need anything. You can free up the clutch and brake line easy enough. You'll have to plug your harnesses up under the radio instead of back in their factory positions.
