The problem I'm trying to fix is the butt and lower back pain from riding hunched over. The stock bars on my 2010 SG are terrible. The MBB 12" have a 9" pull back and the WO 577 have 11" pull back. I think. I wonder if there is a lot of difference in comfort with 2" more pull back?

The PYOs look fantastic but with everyone running them they start to look a little old. Again, my opinion.
Classic apes are timeless and go with the overall theme of a slightly modified bike.

Hope you guys are right, ordered up the WO577 this week to eliminate shoulder pain and allow me to sit more upright. I have long torso and short legs, hoping the extra pullback on the wild1s will be the right choice. Also, the PYO look versus the Wild1 is just a personal taste.

I like the Paul Yaffee (monkey bagger bars) but I've heard there is a long wait to get them and they're very hard to run the wires threw. The WO 577 are nice too but they don't look quite as good as the monkey bars. Has anyone had any trouble getting the Paul Yaffee Monkey Bars? Does anyone know if the black finish on these bars is gloss or flat? Thanks...
As for my bars, I got a chance to sit on a bike at the Dr. VTWIN shop and I loved them right there. I went with the black version and from what I understand, it's a satin finish, not flat. It does go well with my color scheme though. For the record, I would do the same thing if I had to do it all over again.
I did +6 on the clutch and brake.
