I agree and have Wild1 on both bikes. You can also call them and they sell blems for 1/2 the cost. I got 14" apes for under $60 and couldn't find one blem. The bars to me were perfect. I just got 12" for the Ultra W1 578 and love them!!!

Like was stated earlier, grab a broomstick and place your hands comfortably where you want them. Have someone measure your width, height and pullback. I went 34" from ring finger to ring finger. Perfect for me! Good Luck
