Default Wild 1 502's

I know there have been threads on the Wild 1 502's, but just about everything I read when I did a search on here was for FL style bikes. Does anyone have a set on a FX style bike with pictures? Particularly a Custom, Standard, or Nightrain since they are all pretty much the same bike. If anyone has them on a Custom or Standard, how do they compare to the stock bars? (The Nightrain comes with drag bars so I didn't include them in that question.) Wild 1 seems to make a good quality handlebar, and the people who have them seem to be very happy with them. Any info/pictures would be appreciated.

Also, if anyone would be interested in buying my Roland Sands Vintage Bars, let me know. They were installed on the bike Oct. 5th, so they're still pretty much brand new. I had them powdercoated gloss black and drilled for internal wiring. They look frickin' awesome! The only reason I'm lookin' to change bars is because I'm a shorter guy and I have to lean forward a bit to reach them. I'd like to lean back a little more because my back starts to hurt a little bit due to racing motocross for so many years. If anyone wants them, you can PM me or let me know in here.

I did a search on this website, and just about everything I saw was on FL style bikes. I'm wanting to get an idea of how they would look on my bike. On the Wild 1 website, they have two pictures of them on a Wide Glide, but the pictures aren't very good. They do have a couple pictures of 509s on a Custom, but that's taller than what I'm looking for. Believe me, if I could find good pictures I wouldn't have started another thread on here about Wild 1 bars. I know there have a been a number of threads on them. Unfortunately, none of them give me the info I'm wanting.


Edit: I went back to the Wild 1 website and I found the Customer Bikes section, which Ididn't see before. I managed to find a few good pictures of502's on Wide Glides, but no FX Softails.

The picture I posted is a FXST. It's from their website in the W502 handlebar section.

Those are the 509's. They're 3.5" taller than the 502's. I know they're similar, but I'm curious how the 502's look since they're shorter and the same diameter. Shorter and the same thickness would give the 502's a fatter look.

Edit: BTW, I really like the look of your bike.

After talking to the dealer and getting a total cost on getting new bars and cables, my wife wasn't too happy about the idea of me spending $500 on getting new bars since I just got these about a month and a half ago. So as of right now, I'm gonna keep the setup I have. If things change and she gives me the "ok" to get new bars, I'll post the information on the bars.
