Chubby 575's Thumbs down
I had HD 2" pull back bars and hated the wrist angle so I bought the Chubby 575's and who ever calls these things 2" pull back bars must have longer arms than I do.
I like the wrist angle but I have to reach much farther than I used to.
So I solved one problem and created another.
Plus I had to notch out the underneath of the bars to get the clutch and brake housings to clear the wiring harnesses. There was NO way the clamps were gona go around the harness without pinching it big time.
I can't get the housings to slide up all the way to the bar either stretching my hands out even farther so I can't see out of my fairing mirrors.
If they didn't cost me $180, they'd be in the trash.
They are great quality bars just not what I was hoping for, but I guess I'll just live with it for a while.

I noticed the same thing.
I bought them for the 2" pullback and I am 6' with a 34" sleave lenght.
They just barely come back far enough for me.
Anybody with shorther arms would be a waist of money.
I do like the width of the bars though.
It makes handleing the bike so much easier at slow speeds or crab walking the bike.
...and I loose about 1/3 of the mirrors.

I am 5-10 and mine are fine. I did rotate them back in the triple tree to move them back and lower them.
