Had 04 dyna low rider before and when I put on the chubby bars, i noticed that the vibration in handlebars left and I had no numbness in hands or fingers.

Fast forward to 2007 ultra classic. Getting a lot of vibration and numbness in right hand and fingers. Wondering if W0575s will solve the problem plus give me the look i had with dyna re chrome bar and then went with braided cables and chrome controls/levers on top.

After reading posts, not up to doing it myself. What can I expect from dealer for installing bars with wires internal?

I put wild one 10 inch apes on my RG, I also swapped out the POS stock bar bushings for Drag specialties polyurethane bushings (best 10 bucks I spent).I was worried I would be getting huge amounts of vibration. Totally opposite, bike has never felt so responsive and smooth since the bar and bushing swap.

One thing to consider when replacing the bars -- especially when you're paying for labor -- is that you can save money on labor by also upgrading to braided cables and chrome controls at the same time. All that stuff has to be removed to install the bars. With the WO575's you will need a longer clutch cable. (Do a search and you will find lots of other message threads on Wild1 bars.) My dealer quoted me 6 hours labor to install the WO575 bars, and replace the cables with braided. The total comes to $1000 (6x$75=$450 for labor, $200 for the bars, $350 for the cables). That's with internal wiring. They wanted another 2 hours to replace the controls with chrome ones. Another dealer quoted me about the same for labor on the bars replacement.
