I'm on my second set of Wild One 577s on two bikes. No problems here. I would be curious about the install being done properly. Another issue to eliminate with apes is to use the poly bushings, the stock ones are too soft. As the engineer stated, that looks like movement issues are involved. I'm also concerned that you would sell a set of cracked bars to another rider knowing the safety issue there.

I think it would have been better if you contacted them FIRST before bashing them on the forum. Give them a chance to make it right then let the forum know.
At first glance a visitor might think their bars are not quality work, when in fact it could turn out to be an installation problem and not a manufacturing one. Just sayin.

Exactly, I would be selling the NEW bars. NOT the old ones. If They replaced them they would take the old ones from me. I already have a set of PY bagger bars on my bike. Don't think I would want to pay for labor all over to swap bars out.
No Bashing on Wild1 . No where did I say these are junk or the company is horrible on customer service. I just showed everybody what happened to my bars from simple use and that the company offers to back up there product if your the original owner.
If you guys look close at the pics you WILL see the scratches or pressure marks from the single 1 piece clamp on the bar. There was NOT the stock 07 pre 2 piece clamps.

I don't get it. This is the second post I've read this morning about someone who bought something used, had a problem with it, and is blaming the manufacturer for not backing it up. Since this bike was bought used, you have no idea how the bars were installed or how they were used/abused. Wild1 also has a significant problem with people on Ebay selling counterfeit products. It says so right on their website. So I don't understand how you feel slighted by the company. You didn't buy the product from them. You don't know if it was installed properly. You have no idea how old the bars are.
The other poster bought a used fuel filler door from a forum member that said outright it didn't fit on his bike and is bashing PM that they won't give him a new one cause the door won't fit his bike.
Stetler, I feel for you that you have to shell out some heavy cash for new bars. Kinda sucks. But I can't fault Wild1 in this case. Their policy is clearly stated.
