I installed some Wild One 577s over the winter and I really love the look comfort (on short rides). I've had some shoulder injuries on my right shoulder that may require surgery. After a few hours of riding that shoulder is in pain and worthless. If I take a break for a while I can ride some more.

I hopped on a friends SG with stock bars and it felt very strange and clumsy. I only have 1500+ miles on my bars but I'm already used to them. I'd hate to go to the WO575s and get that stock feel again.

So, has anyone made the change?

 

Have the 575's on my work bench. Waiting on the handlebar clamp I ordered from that @#%&$ Chicago HD. If not for their crap, I could give you some advice. I can tell that they are a couple inches taller, wider and closer. Wanted to keep my hands behind the fairing, so didn't go too tall.

 

I just had the 575s put on last week and I love them, they have the stock angle and wrist position but your hands are a couple of inches wider apart and you are pulled back a couple of inches and up about 2 inches. With the stock bars, my arms were almost locked straight with the 575s I have a good bend at the elbow, I can lean back on a rider backrest and have no problem with being in full control of the bike, I have an old shoulder injury and there is no pressure on my shoulders with these bars, I can go hours without a problem. Hope you find a good solution.

 

Well..... I have the 577's on my bike and have a set of 575's in the box to go on my buddies bike. Could take some comparative measurements if that will help ya.

 

If you don't mind it would help me. I'am thinking of buying some.

Thanks

 

Got started on my buddies 575 install today. Width of stock bars are 31" end of grip. 575 and 577 are 35" end of grip. Wrists are straighter with both Wild ones v/s the stockers. 575s have a more downward angle on the grips than the 577s. Grips on the 575 are up maybe 1.5" and back 2.0 v/s stock. Biggest difference is height. Top of grips on the 577 are 6"above the top of the grips on the 575s. First 2 pics are height diff on 577s and 575s. Second 2 pics are stock bar and 575 bar.

I'm putting these on right now, for the same comfort reasons... haven't bought wiring extensions or cables yet, did you need either or were you able to use stock?
