The 575's are not apes. They are maybe 2" higher and 2" back.
Problem I had was I set them up the way I thought was comfortable and when I tried to put the inner fairing back on, it wouldn't fit because the bars were to far forward.
Guess what I'm saying is a 10" set of Monkey Bars would have been perfect for me. I likely should have went with the 577's but really didn't want my hands above the fairing.
I'm sure the 575's are going to be great. You can definitely tell the difference between these and stock. Much beefier, a little wider and better wrist angle.

I just put a set of Wild Ones 502's which are the 12.5 inch apes for the Road King and Road Glides. My Shoulder pain and back pain is gone!!!!!
It took a little while to get use to the wider bars but now that I have I love them.
The only problem I have with the install is the brackets for my MP3 and GPS are for 1 inch Bars. Now I have to make new ones.

I have been having nightmares about another bar swap. the TBW sensor got monkeyed up the 1st time, one wrong wire in the wrong connector (well 2 really) caused all kinds of issues. Want to try something different I love the 577's just get bored sometimes., just hate to think of pulling the wires out again and having something go wrong!!
For anyone doing this job, take your time, take your time and take your time.

Hey Eric, I think time was my biggest problem here. I took everything off 5 or 6 weeks back to get my inner fairing painted. Started back at it this past weekend and I had to try and remember were everything went. If it wasn't for the dyslexia I wouldn't have had any problems.
BTW, did you get that beast of a 120R engine out this past weekend?
