Default Wild One WO575

Looking to install WO575 handlebars on my Street Glide and was wondering if everyone has had to install bar mounted mirrors or if you can still use the fairing mounted mirrors. I'd rather use my fairing mounted mirrors if it's possible.

I was the same way, hated to sacrafice my mirrors but went to perch mounts. The bars are worth giving up the mirrors and the perch mounts give unobstructed view

You gonna have to change out your cables woosh, or will the stock ones work? I saw some on ebay and it looks as though your stock cables may just work....

I will depend on where you position the WO575 handlebars. If you keep them up you will need to use handlebar mounted mirrors. If you roll them back to get more pullback the fairing mirrors will work fine.

All stock cables and wires will work.

The new bars are going to put your hands right in front of the fairing mount mirrors, so you are going to see knuckles and that's about it.

How about width, does the fairing still block the wind from your hands with the WO575 bars? I see they are a couple inches wider than stock.

the w0575 bars are basically a relaxed version of the stock bars, much more comfortable, more pull back a little wider, you should be fine with them and no issues

Put them on my 08 SG, needed to reroute throttle cable, brake line, and had to add 4 inch longer clutch. You can use the fairing mirror but not very well.

Default 575 bars

I installed them on my 08 SG. I needed a new+4 clutch cable but didn't re route anything else. Any external wiring went inside them. I rolled my bars back alittle more to get alittle more pull back and un-obstructed mirror view. Very comfortable riding position now.
