Default Which Wild1 drags for Bob

I'm thinking about putting some wild1 drags on my street bob.&nbsp\\; Trying to figure out which ones to get.&nbsp\\; I'm 5'8" and have fairly short arms.&nbsp\\; Personally i think the riding position on a stock lowrider is about right.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; The 560's are cool but don't they pull back a little further than lowrider bars?&nbsp\\; That might be a little too much.&nbsp\\; &nbsp\\;Maybe the&nbsp\\;501's might be about right?&nbsp\\;

More rise is better for longer rides for me&nbsp\\;

get out tape measure and measure the rise and pullback off a lowrider at the dealer.. then try to match best you can...

Thanks everyone. I ordered up some 501's which will give me some more rise as well as pullback. Will post a review when its all done.

OK, the Wild1's are on (WO501). You pretty much have to run the wires internally. Local independent shop charged me $299. Wires had to be extended but the stock cables were fine.

Seems to be roughly the same reach as on a stock lowrider. The bars are narrower of course. It's an upright riding position, if you're a youngun you might want something more aggressive. Wrist position is comfortable. The handling is fine.

Love the look. Mechanic remarked on the quality of the bars. Overall I'm very satisfied. It is hard to buy bars over the internet; lots of head scratchin and messing with yardsticks and tape measures. Hope this helps.

What, no pics???? Forum rules dictate that whenever mods are done and mentioned on the board, pictures must accompany the post...rules is rules!
