Default Input Needed

I have been told these bar's work with all the oem cables and wires is this correct dose anything have to be rerouted or bent on the oem cables to make fit properly. I have replaced several handle bars over the years but this will be the first on my 09 FLHT just need some advice

i have an 05 ultra with the 575's. I had plenty of wire to run wires inside of bars. i also wanted my cables to run eactly as stock (no re-routing or stretched tight) , so I added +4" and changed my cables.

i really like my 575's!

Put WO575's on my 07 EGClassic last winter. Pretty sure I will be taking them back off next winter. As Hamnhogg said, my right wrist gets to aching pretty good after a few miles, and they haven't helped any shoulder pains. I've got over 2500 miles on them, and they just arent quite right. Just my opinion.

Have WO575 on my '99 and really like the extra 2" height and width! Respect the way they keep the hands behind the Batwing for those cold mornings. For my CC Seat design and body type the fit is Perfect. As for the cables, the stock clutch cable was too short and it takes some creative bending to make the front brake line work.

I put the 575's on my bike about a month ago.............don't know why I wanted so long for this mod. They are so much more comfortable then the stock bars, my neck and top of back don't hurt anymore when doing 200-300 mile trips.

Here are before and after pictures -







I've installed 3-4 other sets for other people and they all love them too. I have reused all stock cables, wires, and brake lines on all the bikes I've done.

You should look into the blemished bars.

I've had my eye on these. And a lot of people say to check out the +2 sweepers.

I guess my question to those with the 575s... I know you get some height and width, but relative to stock is what is the pullback, if any?

the height would be nice. I get why the width would add comfort. but I think if I don't get 1"+ of pullback it won't work for me.
