I live too far away, but if I had it to do over again I think I would go with the 577 over the 575. Sit on you bike in your normal riding position with your eyes closed and put your hands where they feel good to you, then open your eyes. If your hands are more than 2" from your bars get the 577s.

I would agree with this with one caveat. The 577s put your hands over the fairing. If you frequently ride in the rain or the cold, that'll make your ride that much less pleasant. For fair-weather riding though, the 577s would be much more comfortable for me.

+1 love the protection of the fairing with the WO575. The 575 are both 3" higher AND 2" further pull back, perfect for the batwing for me. If you like your hands hanging out way above the fairing get the 577s. The 575 have 10" rise, the 577 12.5" rise and the 576 14" rise. The stock bars are 7" rise.
