Default Bagger Bars???

Fellow Baggers,
I'm looking to replace the stock bars on my SG... I have 12.5 Chubby's on my RKC I like the way they feel and ride. The stock bars on my SG roll me forward and due to lower back problems, not very comfortable after a couple of hours. The bars on my RKC set me up and back for a much better ride. I'm looking at the Wild 1 WO575 bagger bars and the WO577 12.5 bagger apes. Any pics and advise on how/why you chose. Thanks in advance.

Doug

I have 12.5 Wild 1s on my SG - For the same reason you stated - stock bars were making me lean forward - I'm 6-1 with a Mustang Daytripper seat - these bars ROCK!!!!

I have the 13'' Burly Brand bagger apes being put on. Should have my bike back tomorrow. I'll post a few pics. They felt great when I sat on the bike.

I have 13" cyclesmiths . They are extremely comfortable. 12.5" bars might interfere with the fairing mounted mirrors a little too much.

I just ordered 16's. Wanted 14 and maybe even 12-13, but after setting on a bike with 16's I knew I wouldn't be happy with anything lower. I will post pics in a few days. Also, look at the pullback. The Wild1 has a little more pullback than others, just something to consider.
