Default Need a Little Pull Back on Street Glide Bars. Are Wild 1 575's the Answer?

2011 Street Glide with MCC Super Narrow seat mod & stock bars.

Bike is exceptionally comfy, but I wish I had about an inch or so more pullback on the handlebars.

Are Wild 1 575's what I'm looking for?

Anyone have these bars and not like them?

Thanks

Default i have the same question

I have the HD reduced reach seat, and would like a little more pull back on my bars without having to change out my cables. I am 5'7" and any little bit would help. Thanks

Thanks for sharing.

Do you have anything to offer, with regard to Wild 1 575 bars (the topic of this thread)?

The 575s are a lot wider but you do get some more pullback. If you are looking for a set of bars that give you a bit more bend in the arms, these are probably not the ones. I put them on my SG when I had it....

Did they have a 'wheelbarrow' feel to them?

Thanks

I had 575 one time, and did not care for them. Felt like they were mini mini apes. Go for at least a 14" or be bold, and comfy, go 16"

Sorry drspencer, nothing to add, was just hoping to get some ideas from any information you received.

14-16" aren't really my thing.

I like the stock SG bars, just wish they came back an inch or two. Will 575's give that effect?

Thanks

Yes they will. I think it will to your liking if that's what you want outta them. Good luck with your decision.
