Anyone ever use the Wild One Chubby bar on a Ultra? I need to get the bars back a little as it seems I am reaching a bit for the stock bars. I want to be sure I do it right the first time. All info will be greatly appreciated.

Here's a nice how to pictorial on the install. http://www.kenandjudy.us/Harley%20Pi...Bars/index.htm
The 575's and the khromewerks 300505 are similar , but the Khromewerks don't require internal wiring.
The 575's look a little neater when done though , but pricey.

I paid about $800 to get mine swapped out by the Harley Dealer in Austin. I'm not a great mechanic and since my wife is on the back of my Ultra 95% of the time, I'm not going to take a chance on screwing something up and putting her in danger.
As far as the Chubby's go, I would like a little additional pullback. I still get that cramp between my shoulders after about 400 miles. I'm 6'2" with 37" sleeves.
I put 13" Cyclesmith apes on my Classic about 6 month ago and all it cost me was 500 and 2 day labor.I never had done it before either,but wasn't go to pay the dealer 500 to do what I can do.The manual was priceless.

I feel the same way that's why I won't let a dealer touch my bike . I took care of it myself, it wasn't too bad. I had maybe $400 into the entire project. Keep in mind if you have fairing mirrors the become pretty much useless as all you'll see is your knuckles.
