Does anyone know how the two bars compare? Is the Chubby better or worse than the HD bars? I've got short arms and need to do something this Winter but not sure which to go with.
I swapped to the WO575.
I thought the wrist angle of the HD Pullbacks was too "wheel barrel" for me.
Visually I think running the wiring internally looks better. I like the thicker bar look too.

Mymatrix, you're not the first who has said the HD bars had a wrist angle issue. Did you find the 575's to be more comfortable? Also, did you install the single piece top clamp that HD came out with per Chubby's recommendations?
For those using the HD pullback bars, do you have any problem with the wrist angle?
I have the HD pullbacks on my 09, and had them on my 03 as well. I have no issues with the wrist angle. When you first switch from OEM bars to the touring pullbacks, you will notice the different wrist angle. After a few miles, you won't notice anymore...the only thing you'll notice is how comfortable you are, able to sit completely upright in a relaxed posture. That's my$.02
I had the HD pullbacks on my UC. No issues with wrist angle and felt much more comfortable riding even a short distance with them as opposed to stock bars. I'm in a quandary over getting ABS on my next bike if I can't put pullbacks on it.
These fit ABS equipped bikes BUT do they fit on the Street Glide??;

Hamnhog:
Your dealer is wrong! I have an 09 ABS. Everything listed below is on page 443 of the 2009 Harley accessories catalog:
Touring pullback handlebar (new for 2009), PN 56176-08 $149.95
Diamondback clutch cable, PN 38922-09 $ 99.95
Front brake line ABS, PN Upper 46711-09, Lower 41825-09 $249.95
If you are going to have them do internal wiring, you'll need the sensor kit, PN 32310-08 $89.95
Hope this helps. I ordered all of this online through Chicagoharley.com at 20% off. Saves you about $100, even after shipping charges.
