Wink Wild One 575 bars?

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.

I m thinking about the same thing, might have to do the install myself though as I have seen up to $1600 for the install here on the forum.

Here's a nice how to pictorial on the install.

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.

160 bucks for a blem set of the bars direct from Wild1.
250-400 bucks in cables.
Your labor=no where near 1600 bucks.

4 inch over clutch
2-4 inch over brake and throttle cables.

Good luck.

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.

I put a set of blems on my 05 Ultra, and used the stock cables and brake line. Worked out great!

I think they're the most comfortable bars you can put on you bike.Here's how they look on my bike:http://s270.photobucket.com/albums/j...t=DSC01947.jpg
