Default RE: Handlebar Replacement

I just finished putting the Wild Ones 575s on my Ultra. The clutch cable works with a reroute that bypasses the fairing. the stock throttle cables fit no problem, the brake line also fits with a little foolin' around and the wiring will easily reach if you move the location of the plug inside the fairing. Go to the DIY forum for pictures and instructions on this. Running the wires in the bars was simple but time consuming and IMO well worth the trouble. I'll eventually switch the clutch, brake and throttle cables to longer braided ones but for now I'm goot to go with the stock ones. If anyone wants more info on running the wires or disasembling the plugs PM me and I'll give you all the details. If I can do it anyone can!

Greetings,

I just ordered the WO550B Wild 1 Chubby® Blackout beach bar. According to the website, the dimensions are ( 3-½" Rise, 36-½" wide, 10" center, 15" pullback.)

I have a 2010 Harley Fatboy Lo and I would like your advice on what cables and what sizes I need to replace ( clutch, break, throttle, Idle, even signals, etc.). Also, in additional recommendations for best fit like clamps, risers?

Thank you so much
Zaher

2010 Street Glide: went with the Wild one 575 chubby bagger bars http://www.wild1inc.com/orderWO575.html Wrists don't hurt anymore and the bike is like a different ride. LOVE them! I have the fairing mirrors and can see my hands a little bit but they still allows me to see fine. Went with a 4 inch longer clutch cable and the CVO Throttle by wire that comes with a longer lead that does not have the green plug and sub harness (wire connection are outside of bars instead of in the middle) Did the job myself, it does take a lot of time, but so worth it.
At the same time went with the PM grips. Black with Renthal rubber, they are also very nice.

Call Wild 1 they are very helpful and don't recommend things that you don't need. They install bars all day at their shop and know all of the info. By the way I am not affiliated with Wild 1 in any way, just very satisfied with my bars.

Hey you guys,
What is the difference between putting new cables and just using over stock extensions?

Installed new Wild One 575's around 300 miles ago. Love em! 2 inches higher, 2 inches wider and 2 inches closer, with the same wrist angle as stock. Should have done this 15,000 miles ago!

Default Love the 575 bars but reach is a little long

Hi,
I put the 575 bars on my 2011 SG this Winter and love the comfort while cruising. I'm a little shy of 5' 5" though and have the bars pulled back as far as they'll go without hitting the tank. When I make a tight turn, I really have to lean forward to reach the upper bar. The extra 2" of width really makes it hard for short arms to crank a tight turn. Anybody else experience the extra reach required for parking lot turns?

Randy
