I reused the stock clamps when I installed my 575"s. So far, so good.
They 'might" work but spending the $20 is the way to go - both Wild'1 and HD reccomend this - reason being - with the larger bars - more torque can be applied to the clamp area and since that area has the exit hole for the wires - it can become weak and crack/break - not something you want to have happen at speed and if it does - you will hear your self say "crap - why didn't I spend the extra $20 when I had a chance - Not only could you loose control of your bike - your $200 bars are now junk...

When I was investigated the installation procedure at the time I installed the 575's, I think I remember reading that the stock clamps should be re-used because they were the only ones that would fit under the radio. Am I remembering that right? Is the single piece clamp a new item?
