Doc,
Could the bars be pulled down and closer to the rider so as to not interfere so much with the faring mirrors, I wonder if you could use the MOCO fairing mirrors that have the build in curved mirrors, they are a little wider, those you have look wider too. Are those speakers glowing? those are very cool, I need to get those too, WTF, it just never ends does it.

Those LED lights are from J&M cost $215.00 bucks. I have a friend who bought some rope light from Walmart for 6 bucks and it worked but does not look anywhere near as good as mine and I can change colors with a flick of a switch. hehe
As for the bars, yes, you could adjust so they lay flatter, which I attempted, problems were its not as comfortable, the stock size break line was to short and if you have internal wiring it's a problem when you try and adjust the handlebar switches cause the wire won't allow you to turn them too far from their intended/normal position.

Thanks for the input. I have two questions that I would love to have answered from anyone that has the 575's. Does the height of the bar interfear with the visibility of the fairing mirrors at all and are the bars, too wide. Initially I'm looking for pull back only, if I can find such a bar.
They aren't to wide, in fact I really love the wider bars. It was a nice surprise for me.

thanks doc, I haven't installed my bars yet, understand what you mean with the wires I am having a real problem with having to install mirrors on the bars, I love the look of the mirrors mounted to the faring, just flows right with the lines of the bike imo. looking at chrome front ends, don't know if I want to go with the hidden axle or not. nice problem to have.....

Porkchopsd - where can I see those MOC mirrors? Going to try Khrome Werks 300315 and wild 1 wo575, next week, to see which bar feels better. Hopefully one will block the mirror less than the other, but comfort will ultimately rule. Seems like these are two of the most popular bars out there, although it appears the 575's are better quality. I don't know if I'll see much difference, since most of the bar is covered by the fairing.

I do NOT want to lay them flatter. That said, will all my stock wiring, cables work (2010 FLHTCU)?

Been looking at these for a while and about ready to pull the trigger and have them installed at the same time with my painted inner fairing. Don't have shorter than average arms, but would like to sit more upright and not slouch, as my lower back and shoulders ache and would like to lean back a little on my back rest (I've got it as forward as it can go and it is still not enough...). Think these will do the trick. Look pretty cool too...

Some people have stated they used the stock one but you will need to re-route and pull the hell out of it to work.

+++1, I have the 575's on my Ultra, one of the best mods for comfort!!! Can't comment to the fairing mounted mirrors but they work fantastic with the bar mounted mirrors
