I have the wild one 575's mounted on my 07, and they are very comfortable. Only drawback is they block the mirrors when my hands are one the grips. You could pull them back more but that would feel weird to me. The openings in the bars are great for wiring access and you should know that you'll also need longer cables and a wiring extension with the 575's.

The top bar is stock.
The Second bar is the Chubby 575.
The Third is the HD wheel barrow pullback bars.
This is the older 08 and below pullback bar. The new one they just put out is supposed to be not as narrow.
ALSO... I have already changed the bars on my 09 Ultra with ABS. There is nothing special about the 09 with ABS but be prepared to spend some cash on an upper brake line.

Good post, lp. Best photo I've seen showing the bars together. Looks to me like the HD pullback bar and stock bar have about the same wrist angle, although it's probably accented with the pullback.

Anyway, unlike you may have heard above, you do not need to extend the wires. A +4 clutch helps though...
Good luck.

I'd like to try the new 09 Pullback. Have not heard much about those yet other than they are not cheap like the old ones.
Hope that helps...

I have the HD Pullback bars on my '08 Standard w/abs. The 575's were too wide for me and the wrist angle of the HD bars has not proved to be a problem for me. I had a local machinist modify the bars to accept the TBW grip, added a +4 clutch cable so it could run though the fairing. Didn't need a new brake line or the tbw sensor. My dealer charged 2 hours labor qt $51/hour. By far the best mod I have done, I love these bars.

I'm in the process of swapping out my OE bars for Wild One 575's. When you installed yours did you extend the wiring? Extend the clutch cable? Extend the throttle cables?
If you extended your wiring what guage is the wiring? I'm guessing 20 ga. I've looked at the extension kits for sale on the internet. Seems like alot of $'s for $5 worth of wire and fewer dollars worth of solder.
Any info you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
