I have then 575's. Great bars. Didn't realize how much better these are then stock. The extra 2' of height and 2" of pullback made a big difference for me. What sold me on the 575's over the Harley pullback is that I never read any reviews on this forum from anyone who didn't like the 575's. I also like the fact that they are 1 1/4" versus the Harley bars that are 1" thick.

I have W O Bagger Bars. Wider a little taller. Fit is great. Had to relocate some connectors but all wires and cables will work, had to extend TBW wires. They are really comfortable. Wont regret.

Default 575 bars

I really like mine alot. The added pull back allows me to sit all the way back in my seat without the feeling of hanging on the bars. I have mine lowered enough to be able to see a full mirror. If you raise them up you'll be in the path of your mirrors. I like having them lower because it gave me more pull back. Hands are still behind the fairing and out of the wind for the most part. I love them. Running the cables inside really cleaned that area up too.

Whose bars are the 575s? What's a good price and where is a good place to get them? Can you run wires internally? Thanks - Bob

You must not have read many bar theads on here! Bars are personal preference. Some do not like the wrist position of the 575s, some do.
I just ordered some Khromewerks +2 sweepers a couple of hours ago.
Cant wait to get them.

I have the Khromewerks Sweepers +2. They come back two inches and up two inches. I've had them on two bikes now and love them. Best part is they are only $79. The HD bars have a not so comfortable wrist angle for me.

-Just did the HD pullbacks on my Street Glide -- but I used Wild One's on my Fat Boy. Internally wiring the Wild One's was much easier due to the larger diameter, but the throttle by wire was also to blame on the SG. -Best advice I could give would be to get a +2 clutch cable from Magnum Shielding, as well as handlebar switch wire extensions from Novello. Brake line length will be fine, but I had to slightly loosen the banjo bolt and rotate the fitting a little (no sweat and no leak).
