WO575 are just what you are looking for P/N 0601-0788.
Top clamp for bars P/N 55918-08.
4" over clutch cable P/N 0652-1148.
4" over idle cable P/N 0651-0407.
4' over throttle cable P/N 0650-0735.
Lower brake lines P/N 1741-1072.
Upper brake line P/N 1741-1676.
Urethane bushings P/N DS-290573.
Trans cover gasket P/N 36805-06
Exhaust gasket P/N 65324-83B

You can search all of these part numbers @ LSHD1 for the latest higher prices.


Pull the radio it makes life a lot easier.
Get a set of long ball allens from Harbor Freight for about $13 to pull radio. (You will use them elswhere).
Take your time. To change the clutch cable you have to drop the front right floorboard (rear bolt only), brake pedal, and exhaust pipe, (exhaust needs new gasket that can be a bitch to get in)
Some people on here don't change the brake or throttle cables but IMO it looks way better if you do and I don't like spending any of my extra money. 2" Throttle cables will probably work fine but I don't have the P/N's for them WO recomends 4" for all three.
Take some pictures of control cable and electrical cable routing before you start.
Do not cut anyt length off of the left side of the bar. I have seen this on this forum for other models.
Might want to look at a painted inner while you got all this cht off.

first, try rotating your bars back towards you- if it works, you save a bundle of $$$.

put a heavy thick towel over your tank

remove ignition switch

remove lower dash switch panel

slightly loosen the 2 rear pinch bolts on the bar clamps

rotate bars back as far as you can while still clearing the tanks by 1/2". snug bolts

check that the bars clear the tank when turning forks from lock to lock

add extra clearance as the bar mounts are on rubber and can flex if you put weight on them

once position is established, tighten the pinch bolts and reassemble.

you may want to adjust the controls so your levers don't stick up like horns

I think the pinch bolts on your model are 1/4". you can use a 1/4" drive screwdriver bit as a tool.

stick it butt end into the bolt and turn it with a 1/4" wrench

I installed the HD 2" pullback bars and am reall happy with them. Only need to re-route the original clutch cable to get plenty of slack and can still insert it through the grommet hole in the inner fairing.

I wanted the 2x2 Kromewerks but not available at that time (3 months ago). Found with the HD pullbacks I didn't need the height as the 2"pullback took care of that aspect.
Some like em some don't-- they are perfect for me.

Pull the radio as others suggest and make the job easy. It only takes a few minutes with the ball end long allens.

It's well worth adjusting your current bars before changing to different ones. I just couldn't quite get comfortable with mine and had several attempts to adjust them. They were too far away I now realise and having got them closer we suddenly 'clicked' and hey presto life is great! Only cost a few beers and a little time....
