Wild 1 Chubby's 575 bagger bars. Come already notched out for the 08' models. Gives you a couple inches in height and pullback. They will however block your fairing mounted mirrors if you have them....

I had a local fabricator notch the standard HD pullback bars for $30, they work great.

Because they are "CHUBBIES" they are fatter than the Khromewerks
1.25 not 1 inch Thay are expensive, but very nice bars.

With the Wild 1's you have to run your wires internally inside the bars which for a mechanic to do that will cost you more money and they are fatter than the Khrome Werks. I installed the Khrome Werks on my 08 and love them. All you have to buy extra is a +4 clutch cable. One of our sponsors on this site Warehouse Direct has the bars and cables in stock and gives us a 15% discount. Call and ask for Cory...nice guy !!!

I just installed the Wild1 WO575 and knowing what I know now, I would have gone with
Cyclesmiths' 113-w's because it has more forward-rear adjustability. When I try to
adjust the Wild1s forward they are stopped by the inner fairing. The Cyclesmith bar lower is designed differently to allow more adjustability.
