WOW. I don't look in here very often. Seeing feedback like this makes my job well worth it. We'll keep on keeping on with a good quality product made here in the USA.

So you are The One who makes this things possible. I'd like to make a request. Your W0508 with an awesome 16" pullback is like gold to riders like me (short rider). Can you add another 1" to its pullback? During long unobstructed rides I had, I find the most comfortable position when Im leaning back to my backrest and my hands on my bars ends. So if you add another inch or so I can hold on to the middle of the grip instead on its ends

No better advertising than a forum full of happy customers. I'm certain forum boards are where I learned of Wild 1 back when I was just starting to personalize my 2005 Deluxe.
I have the 518s (I think, I never remember if they are those or the 508's) and I love them. My mistake was installing the Springer seat ornamental seat back. I lean so far back that thing hamburgers my lower back and spine (not shown in pics, as I am in solo seat mode here).
On long rides nothing beats leaning back with my feet up on the highway pegs. It's like I'm in a recliner.
To compensate for the new wider style, I switch out the mirrors to the shorter stem versions available at the time.
I just want to say how great Wild 1's customer service is and how awesome their product is. I ordered a set of risers, clamp and bars. I had a issue with the top clamp piece, every time i called them, i spoke to a actual person. They sent me a replacement part and i had it in two days. I got everything installed and couldn't be happier. The bars and risers are top notch and customer service was awesome. Thank you Wild 1's!!
WO575's. Beefy, great chrome job, solid and keeps my hands behind the fairing. TBW cables are run inside of bars. Paid $188 at Amazon. Although there are guides to help you select the style you want, it would be preferred to see a similar setup in person on someone's bike... no?
I have the 12.5" apes on my Road King (see sig pic) love them. First thing you need to know is that they measure a bit weird... My 12.5s are more like 14" - which is perfect for me but fust know they are taller than their stated size. I definitely had to extend my wiring, clutch and brake cables. It ended up being avery expensive mod but well worth it IMO

Wish i knew that earlier, and would have to agree. 16" have always been perfect for me. I should have done 14" cause these 16" are tall. Don't get me wrong they are badass and look even better taller, but for long distance riding, 14" would have fit me better.
hey tonetis, I'm considering the dressers for my 17 RK Special. I'm the same height as you. My concern is that they won't be high enough. You said they fit you great. Still feel the same way? Thanks for any more info you can give me.
Have WO's on my current CVO, and had them on my 12 FB. Best bars I have owned, and the guys at Wild1 were extremely helpful when shopping.
I originally had a set of Yaffe's on my CVO, and pulled them after a week because they were not comfortable. After taking some measurements, I discovered they were out of advertised specs (to wide for their height). I called Yaffe and was told to pound sound because they had been installed. Shitty way to do business, and their quality control is obviously lacking.
