Ultra Handlebar Change out
Several Questions:
1. How many hours did it take to change out your Ultra Handlebars?
2. HD Reach or Wild 1's Which did you change to.
3. For those who have taken on this job, did you have to change out brake, clutch, throttle cables etc?
Thanks in advance for your help and input.

RE: Ultra Handlebar Change out
I changed mine out with Wild 1s. What a pain in the butt! Went ahead and changed the cables to stainless also. As far as cable length. The brake cable would have worked but tight. The clutch and cable would have been too tight. The biggest pain was manuvering the inner fairing and radio to get to the nuts. If I had to do it again, I'd pay someone.
GOOD LUCK

Here's a link to a write-up I posted a few months ago about installing the Chubby's WO575 bars on my Street Glide. It's a long job, but doable if you are careful and take your time. The results are well worth it though.
