I was pretty much set on the wo577, until I saw some pictures of the bars not letting the ignition plate set flush and the bars hitting the cover below the faring because of the 1 1/4" diameter, anyone else had the problems? Has anyone used the classic ape Yaffe bars(if so do you have pics), I know a lot of you guys have used the monkey bars, but I just can't afford them. Another question 12" or 14", I'm 6'2" and all ready have an hd tall boyseat, thanks for any and all input!
i just installed Khrome Werks bagger apes on my FLHX this summer. These are also 1 1/4" bars. I have no problems like you mentioned.

These are the same 6 bend bars as the Wild Ones but much cheaper to buy. Couldn't be happier with them. I am 6 foot and went with the 12 inch bars.

These are my 13" Cyclesmiths Apes and I love them. I am 5' 8" with a 29 inseam and 32 inch arm reach and they fit me perfectly. Highly recommend them.
