WO518's on
 
As part of Winter mods I swaped out the su*k stock RK bars for a set of WO518's. I had to extend the switch wires, but brake and clutch worked fine. The TBW harness was also long enough and did not need an extension. The biggest PIA was the right side. The TBW harness has the plugs for the sensor in the bars and pulling the wires through was tight at times but all worked out.

The bars are awesome, great quality and are so much more comfortable then the stock bars. I Can't wait for Winter to end so I can ride with the new bars!

They look nice. I had them, but couldn't stand them hitting my knees in slow turns. I went to the WO504's but eventually ended up with 502 12.5" mini apes.

The 502's 12.5 where my second choice. I thought long and hard and ended up with the 518's. Very happy with the choice, But When I extended the wires I did go longer then I needed just in case down the road I go to apes. You got a nice ride there BigMike.
