Default Fat chrome bars for RG

Does anyone know of any fat chrome handle bars for a RG? The stock bars fit me just fine but I would like to have a set of chrome ones fat enough for internal wiring. Any ideas?

I wonder if the Wild One #517's would be something you might like. They can be seen at www.wild1inc.com; there is a chart on the website that shows various measurements.

I have both Wild1's 513 and 517.... I am 5'6" and rode the 513 all last summer... great bars but they do make me sit a little more forward than I would like,,, still after hours on the road, I was fine... Now I am running the 517 and I will give them a Long try,,, I really want to get used to them.. they allow me to sit back into the seat more... However, the feel is very different than the 513 - more pull back... I have talked to several forum members who run them, including a local 6' rider who has had them for two years on his RG - he loves them... So, on they will stay at least trough next summer... the 513 are stored away for now....

Thanks guy's, sounds like I need to have a look at the 513's. I'm 6' 4" with knuckle dragger's to match, thats why the stock bars fit me so well. Are the 513's some what strait out on the ends? I'm concerned about them being turned in to much and putting my wrist in a weird angle.

Thane,
Nice post, been watchin & asking about the bars for awhile now. I want the same as you it seems, the bars I have are fine just wish there was no pullback at all & fat to run the wires inside. 6'4 here also.

Kenny, thats what I'm after as well, little pullback. all of the fat chrome bars I've looked at so far have lots of pull back. If the bars that are on ZookHD's bike are Wild 1 RG bars they have to much pullback for me. look at the picture of his bike from the rear, with the forks to the left stop the end of the bars are pointing strait back, the stock bars don't.
