use a pipe cutter ... did that on a friend's bike... saved the trouble of push/pulling all those wires again!

I have a 2010 SG and did not have to cut the bars at all. Adding these bars and PM grips are by far the best add that I have done to my bike.. Love them!!!!!

I love mine also. The biggest PITA? 1) The pins in the connectors. 2) Pulling the wires through the bars. 3) Running out of beer in the middle of the job.

Tchilders, I feel the pain in your wallet.

Did the same with my 2010 Ultra, installed 575's, then replaced with 578's when I discovered them. 578's are awesome!! Sold the 575's on e-bay, no problem.

I did the578's with magnum braided cables a year ago on my 2012 StreetGlide..All I can say is I Love them.. They are not too tall and make the bike so much more comfortable to ride. The only downside was had to add mirrors ( another HD )

Great choice... I've had WO575's on my last 3 FLHTP's and the next one's getting the WO578's.
