Default Wild1 WO577 12.5" batwing apes Sell/Trade

I love these bars. I've had them on 3 of my past bikes.
I've had this set for only 5 months on my new bike and used them to ride to Sturgis. Worked perfectly. They are off the bike and in perfect shape.

That said, I'm looking to sell these and get a set of WO578 (10") bars...

If you have a set of WO578s and want to trade, that would be cool.
If not, you can have these for $170.00 shipped to the lower 48.

Thanks for looking! Pics on request.

I've been indecisively looking at new bars for awhile now for my 2014 street glide. I had reach bars on my last ride and they were just about perfect, but I like these chubby's. I've been on the fence between the 10s and the 12.5s. So two questions...why are you stepping down to the 10s? And did the stock cables and lines fit the bars or did you have to extend them?
...ok, three questions. Are your bars black or chrome?

They are chrome.

Honestly it's just a style thing.
They were fine on my two SGs and RG but to me on my Limited it's just too much attitude (tall) for a bike that is full on Grandpa (which I like).
Just changing things up is all. They are still very comfortable.

I was able to use the stock brake and clutch cables but had to adjust the cable routing near the neck. (on my 2014)
I used +8 control wires that I got from NAMZ.

Thanks for the questions.

A lot of questions answered in my Winter mod thread for both the WO578's and WO577's

Wire extensions would be needed for both.

BTW ..... WO's are nice quality bars!!!

Are you absolutely sure stock cables work on a 2012 sg with these? If so send me your PayPal and I'll take them. Also stock fairing mirrors work with these, correct?

You will need longer brake, clutch, and wire extensions for a 2012 bike.

Wired internally? Ill trade w ya if you send cables etc. I will send you mine. I have +4 braided clutch cable. Wires are internal, with the exception of the heated grips. Please just remove your heated grips and wiring for them. I have a limited as well and chose not to use heated grips. I cant remember if wiring is still in bars or if I removed when installing the Chubbys. Let me know, should be easy change over. If you wnat to leave the heated wiring, I will send you new ones with the bars.

I have a 2014 with canbus wiring and stock brake/clutch hydraulic lines.
You'd have to pull everything out of the bars and just send the bars.
If you wish to do that, cool.

You have chrome wo578's in great shape right?

If you live in maggie valley I sooooo envy you.
