Default DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KHROME WERKS +2 SWEEPER AND WILD1 WO575


So I am looking at two bars, Khrome Werks +2 sweepers 300515 and Wild 1 WO575 Chubby's for my FLHX.

What I want to know is what are the differences as faras hand placement and pullback and such? I know the Khrome Werks are only 1" but I understand they are set up for internal wiring now sowhats the diff???

I need some pull back dont care if I get any rise out of the bars!

I looked and it appears that the brake line on my scoot would be long enough (ABS), I understand I would need a clutch cable, what about the throttle by wire length?

Anyway, my main question........ What are the main differences between the WO575 and 300515 besides price and diameter?

This shows various shots of them on a FLHX. If you search for my photos you will see the same shots of the sweepers on my scoot

Dawg, I'm down to these two bars as well. Going to put them on my 07 Ultra. I looked at the photo's of the Chubby's you have, couldn't find the Sweepers+2. If you have experience with both, would like to ask a couple of quesitons.

1. The Sweepers are +2 on height but I thought they were also +2 on the pull back. However in the following chart, it appears they pull back even less than stock.
Handlebar---------End Rise--------Width -------Ctr Width-----Pullback

Stock Ultra ---------7.5"----------31.0"-----------11.5"--------12.5"
Sweepers+2--------10.8"---------34.1"------------12.0"--------7.8"
Chubby 575---------10.0"---------34.5"-----------14.0"--------13.0"


2. Both the bars have about the same width. I've none had bars other than stock, does the extra width feel natural and can you still do counter steering ok? Do they both have similar wrist positions or is one better (your opinion)?

Winter time, so can't check them out on any bikes and dealer only has HD which I've ruled out.

Thanks

Thanks

I don't know the difference between the two bars but I can say for sure that the sweepers most definitely pull back a good 2" compared to stock. According to the chart in the above post the sweepers would lean you forward 4.5" more than stock. That is just not correct. I was also looking at these 2 bars and went with the sweepers because of the price and they really work great for me.

The bars pull back farther than stock. The great thing is that they really change your wrist position. I found that cornering the bike is actually easier with the sweepers over stock. I really think that you would be happy with the sweepers. Here's some pics of them on my 04 and one compared to the stock bars

The Khromewerks +2 sweepers were the best addition I made this year. Far more comfortable than stock and I don't have to reach nearly as far. The grip angle is much straighter. The pullback number on that chart looks wrong. Where did that chart come from?

I agree with Dawg that the bars make cornering easier. This was a benefit I never expected.

As with any bars take some time to adjust the up/down tilt before tightening. It makes a big difference in comfort. I had to adjust once and it is amazing what a difference it makes.

Wild ones are drilled for internal wiring and the sweapers are not.

I put the Sweepers on last winter. Huge improvement for me, with the pull back and the wrist angle change. I drilled mine and stuffed the wires which was a bit more work but a fun project.
