Default Harlley pull back or wild chubby

Hey guys got a question. Looking for new bars looking at the harley pull back and the wild 1 chubby WO575 I'm 6'2" want to pull back some and add just a little height any preference. Talked to Rob at wild 1 I'm kind of looking that way. Thanks

I'd choose the Wild ones over the HD pullbacks. You can also take a look at Khromewerks 300515's for your 08. These are the sweeper bars. I love them.

I did a lot of research into this a while back and I guess it all depends on whet rise, pullback and grip width your looking for.

The Wild 1's have a lot of options compared to Harley bars.

I found the MoCo's Street Slammers to be exactly what I was looking for.

Good luck!

Don't forget that you will also have to order a new throttle twist sensor on the fatter Chubby bars but I believe the harley pull backs are stock diameter of 1 "

I bought the HD Pullback bars and found that your hands are placed at an awkward position. The thumbs are too forward, wrists bent. I went with the Kromeworks unit. Only needed the clutch cable +3" 38649-08 to complete.

I had the Wild1 Bagger Bars on my Ultra and absolutely loved them. I will probably be getting a set for the SG sometime this year.

Sorry, B2c. Didn't notice you had posted this question. Think we've already exchanged ideas. Ride safe.

I put WO 575,s on my ultra this past summer. The only thing extra they needed was a 4" over stock clutch cable. Everything else was reused. The fatter bars look better too. I love the bars.

"IF" I had to choose between the 2 you mentioned I would go with the Wild 1's. I chose neither and went with the Khrome Werks +2 Sweeper Bars like DAWG and absolutely love them. You can get bars & clutch cable for just over $100.00.

I went with the Wild 1s because a few people around here have complained about the wrist angle of the HD ones.

I believe the Wild 1s are a lot wider than the HD ones too. That was a big surprise plus for me in handling the bike.
