I have a set of Wild one's Chubby's 518's for sale on the parts board if you are interested that were on the bike for less then a month. I started out with the 508's but did not like the feel of the bars. The 518's were great but sold the bike to a friend who wanted the stock bars on the bike and now they are colecting dust.

 

I'm 5'8" and the 508's are a perfect fit for me on my 04 Heritage. Absolutely one of the best mods I have done.

 

Well I rode a bike with the 508's and I personally didn't like my hand positions down so low, so now I'm going to go with either the 513 or 515's.. I actually like the height of stock Heritage bars, but just want them a little closer to me and I don't like my wrist position with them.
Anybody running 513 or 515's on a Heritage? Same old question, did you have to change lengths of wiring,brake line, cables,etc?
Thanks,

 

According to Wild 1 you shouldnt have to change the cable lengths or the wiring with the 513s they are the same height as the standard Heritage handle bars, they just put your hands in a "better" position (according to Wild 1). I emailed them because I am prob gonna be putting the 513s on my 04 Fatboy.

Not sure about the 515s though.

 

Just talked to them and they said the 515's will bolt right on BUT I may have a problem with only the brake line..
Does anyone know if the Harley brake lines are proprietary or can I go to honda/yama/suzu and pick one up?

 

Your not serious thinking you can put a metric part on your HD, right?

 

If its not a Harley part, it doesn't matter which store you buy it from. I'm in an isolated area and the closest Harley dealer doesn't stock much of anything and wanted to get this done asap w/o having to wait the typical 7 to 10.

 

504's on my Deluxe....

 

The stock cables would work but they are tight so I put +4" throttle and idle cables on. +2" would have been best. I got those from Dennis Kirk for $21 each. the clutch is fine and the brake line can be bent and made to work but I am going to install a black diamond line soon to get rid of the stocker. You will need to extend all of your wiring and that can be a pain. Instead of buying an extension kit and messing with getting the wires out of the plugs I cut each one at 2" intervals and added in about 8" soldering and heat shrinking each joint. The tank was kind of a pain to get off but with a helper you can remove the crossover line without spilling too much. Just run the tank as low as you can before starting the job, then drain it completely before putting it back on. getting the dash off is no problem. But don't forget to unplug the fuel gage sensor wire under the tank. If you need help just PM me and I'll answer any questions I can. So far I have about 200 miles on the new bars and they are MUCH better for me than the stock ones.

 

jkelley, Thanks for the info.
I decided to go with the WO515 10" apes. I like the arm position of the stock Heritage bars, but hated my hand/wrist position.. I like the looks of these bars and hopefully they'll work out for me. I'll know in a few days!
Thanks guys,
