Default Considering W O 575

Who has best pricing for the WO 575's for my 09 Street Glide. Is this the best bar for 5'7" 29" inseam to help me be more comfortable ????

Thanks

I bought my bars on EBay. They really make a difference. I'm 5' 10" with a 30" inseam. The only issue I will mention is this: if you look closely, you will notice that there is an outside diameter change where the 1 1/4" OD changes to 1" OD at the switch housings. I put some new Avon grips on and they are a little longer than the Harley grips. This was a bit of an issue since there was no way to move the switch housing in toward the fairing. I believe Harley grips would fit better with the WO 575 bars than the Avon grips I used.

I got mine from dr vtwin, 5 11 32" inseam and a huge improvement from stock, there should be more than enough pullback and rise for you

5'9 and love the 575s put the bars in a perfect position, ride for hours no problem but you will need to get a new mirror setup, your hand will be right in the vision of the fairing mounted mirrors.

I just put a set on my 09 E.G. 2 weeks ago, I'm 5'6", 30" inseam and they fit great, little taller than stock and closer to me, I accually have bent elbows which makes it very comfy, almost felt like I bolted on power steering.

I searched before I bought and best price I found was Axiom cycles,
wo575/ $181.00, drag spec. 4"+ clutch cable/$45.00, free shipping

I am very pleased with mine on 10 SG, 30 inseam & 5'7.5". you can pull them back far enough to be below the mirrors but they are then too low and feel not right. I have lost the bottom 1/3 of the fairing mirrors, but still see enough. elbows bent, sitting up where I want to be. slow turns are easier as well.

If you plan on getting heat demons, make sure you ask the wild 1 people to ream out the bars before they ship them or you will not be able to use heat demons.
