The clutch on the 09 is easy to do, just remove the exhaust heat shield to get access to the tranny cover. You will need a ball end allen to get in there, but it will save a lot of time. I did the clutch cable in well under a hour.

I have the WO575s on my SG and I just ordered the 13" cyclesmiths. I need a little more height. Im 6'3", my seat is lowered and toward the rear and floorboards are all the way out.

.....and I was gonna buy a softail.

My 575s will be for sale Friday.

I changed mine to WO 575 about 2000 miles ago. Neck and shoulder pain is gone. The 2008 and later already come with the one piece top bracket. All I had to had was a 4 in over stock clutch cable. I like the look of the 1-1/4 inch bar better than stock too. Call the contact number they're very helpful answering questions.
