New Bar Issue...
Just put on new bars "wildone 575 bagger bar" and Hd grip "get a grip" http://www.latus-harley-davidson.com...FetDMgodXwIAHg
and i have a gap between the controls and where the bar gets bigger...have any of you seen this? is it the grip? I know that I have read on here that heated grips do that with this bar, thats why I went without heated.....it is the same size gap on both sides....
I know the pic wont help much as I did not get close but I post it anyways...

Are you talking about where the weld is? If so that is going to be normal unless you widen the holes in the controls (clutch & brake clamps) from 1" to whatever size bar that is 1.25-1.5". Then if the grips bottom out before you get them to the controls, you trim down the bars until everything fits. Or just do what I did and live with the gap.

Ooh boy-I have 578s ready to go, and my **** retentive self will not do well with any kind of gap. I have Willie G HD oversized (diameter) grips. The dealer will be installing mine, and I'm sure will give me grief about shortening if needed, or will charge me an arm and a leg. Not good. It it so much that a person would need to actually cut the ends, or within "grinding range"?
