Default Wild 1 bars WO578

For you riders with wo578 bars are they 10" tall or are they called 10" and measure really measure 12" like Yaffe bars and others being sold?


Thanks Tony G.

I have 577's ( 12 1/2" tall ) and they are pretty darn close to 12 1/2" maybe 12 3/4", so fairley accurate. Hope that helps.

Given all of the pictures I have seen and the conversations I have had with WO, I am convinced that these are among the best bars for baggers with a bat wing fairing. That said, I'm about to switch to them-along with a color matched inner fairing, braided steel lines and chrome controls. The supplies and labor are more than an HD wheel conversion! It's a big job, and expensive!

From what I have understood these are 10" bars and they go right to the top of the fairing with your hands still inside the fairing. I am leaning towards these myself, because if you want them a little closer to you you can pull them back. They have pics in the touring pictures of them. I also understand that all you need to do is change the clutch cable and all other wiring and brake line will be fine
