Wo577 pullback
Seams like riders with "apes" like that lean forward, bars straight up look ! But I have ordered these bars to get the height and to "rotate back" for the pullback I need, on my 2012 Limited. I was told by John @ WO that this could be done.
Question: Has anyone rotated these bars "back" from their advertised 11" vertical PB to say 15" PB.
I would love to see some pics of this. I stand 5'-8" w/ a 25" reach. Thanks Craig

The only problem you may run into is, with the location of the hole for the wires, the clutch and brake levers may not be in a comfortable angle. They may be facing the sky unless you have enough slack to rotate them forward far enough. Or, I guess you could always run the wires outside the handlebar.

Thanks Mike, I have never seen how a set of handlebar's ends were built to accommodate "internal wiring". I am trying to picture what the end of the bar would look like. So the switch housing's "half's" bolt together around the reduced sized bar (in the WO577's case) and the wire "bunch" goes into the inside of the handlebar, via a hole ? If this is the case, then yes, I would be limited as too the housing rotation, limited by that hole. I would have to "elongate" that hole to allow more housing rotation ? Please correct me where needed ? Thanks so very much, Craig

Can't run the wires outside because the bars are not dimpled like the stockers for harness clearance. Holes may have to be elongated to rotate the housings to a comfortable angle. You would also need longer clutch and brake lines than most use with the bars pulled back from the fairing. +6 worked fine on my 577s but they are up against the fairing.

If I am understanding the issue, you shouldn't have any problem. The wiring link is the same no matter how you rotate the bars. The brake and clutch could need to be a bit longer but you should be ok.
