Default New Handlebars?

I'm thinking of addingnew bars to my '06 RG,to try to get a little more pullback and rise, and a little fatter bar.
Anyone have any experience with the Wild1 575's?
Any other ideas would certainly be appreciated...

I added Wild 1s chubby 517s to my 05 Road Glide. I like the way they feel, didn't have to change any of the cables.

575's are for the EG/SG - I also have the 517's on my RG - For me the pull back grip angle took some getting used to - I also have 513's and I actually like them more - however I can sit back in my seat better with the 517
