Default bagger bars

was ready to buy kromewerks +2 sweepers did a search most seem to like them, except it seems most of the people are shorter, I am 6`3 want taller bars just not sure about more pullback. Broke C7,T4,T10 and a collar bone ATV mishaps, leaning over bothers me. Wondering if wild 1 wo577 12.5 bars would be better for me. called online store not to much help on if needed longer brake line clutch cable tbw ext. 2008 electraglide had a bike run this weekend most around here still have stock bars so not much help deciding.

The 12.5" bars will put your hands just below where the windshield meets the fairing. The pull back is up to you whether you want to have elbows a tad further back than where they are now.

In regards to the brake line, clutch cable, and TBW needing extended: yes, yes, and most likely. I have known some to install bars and have enough slack in the TBW to make it, but I wouldn't risk having your bike down longer than it has to if you find that is doesn't have enough length.

Did you call Wild1 directly? That's surprising that they were not helpful.

I have the 8.5 WO513s on mine.

Good luck!
