Have you tried bending your stock bars?Even if you mess them up,they should be easy to replace.My handlebars was one of the first things I changed on my bike.I went with the Wild-1 575 bars and I like them.I have my stock bars hanging in my shop.

Is there any problem with the electronic throttle when you install the "sweepers" ?

with either the sweepers or the wild ones will you need to replace your cables with longer ones?

Do any of the bars mentioned here work with the stock fairing mirrors? I want to keep the stock SG mirrors.

With the Wild-1s you will need a longer clutch cable and brake line.My TBW did not have to be extended but the wires did have to be re-routed.

Wild-1s bars will make your fairing mirrors useless unless you enjoy looking at your knuckles.I went with handlebar mounted mirrors and used tweeters in my fairing mirror holes.Here's a link to my bike:

Found it.


"WILD 1 CHUBBYŽ FLHT/C/X BAGGER BAR.
PART # WO575 Custom designed for the FLHTŽ & FLHTCŽ FLHXŽ Electra GlideŽ & Street GlideŽ to enhance rider comfort. Depending on rotation when mounted 1.0" - 2.5" more end rise and 1.5" - 2.5" more pullback than the stock bars. An awesome look and they provide much better, ergonomic hand / wrist position for enhanced comfort, leverage and control. The grips are still positioned behind the fairing and they work with the stock cables, brake line and wiring in most cases. Pre drilled for internal wiring, Accepting new electronic throttle. Knurled and show chrome plated.

Width 34.5", end rise 10.0", center 14.0", pullback 13.0"."
