Ordering WO bars either 576 or 577s chrome/black???
I am going to order my bars over the weekend, I have a 2011 sedona orange streetglide and am debating on the 576 vs 577 and any thoughts on chrome bars vs black?
Depends on what else you are doing to your bike. Sedona and Black are stunning colors. What color are your forks? Stock or Chrome and I'd say get chrome bars. If you get (or plan to get) black forks, black bars are a no-brainer.
Go chrome. I went with the 577s on my 2009 Street Glide and they are really nice bars. Perfect riding height and pullback.
You can always order them from us. We stock those as we install them all the time on batwing fairing bikes.
If you need pics of what they look like installed, I can always post a few rider point of view and side profile pictures for you or I can email them over to you. Just let me know.

I had a tough choice on bars couldn't decide for the longest time. I like the feel of the 576 bars but ended up with pyo. The 577 and 576 have the same amount of pull back. I liked the position of the 576 though
Have a plan for your bike. Avoid buying parts twice. You can always have chrome bars powdercoated black later, but you are creating a lot of work uninstalling and reinstalling the bars.
Just my two cents. Either will look good. But have your "endstate" in mind. If you plan on blacking stuff out in the future, go black. If you plan on more chrome, go chrome.
