Default Why don't wo575 fit 14 touring?

Does anybody know why the Wild One 575's don't fit the 14 Touring bikes? I had them on my 11 and really liked them, but I can't find any details on what doesn't fit for the 14's.

HD changed the front end and trees on the 14 touring models. I'm sure that changed the clamps too.

The clamps are the same. The problem is that the bottom of the fairing inner is wider. I know that the 12.5 apes they make do fit though. Did you measure?

Sounds right, according to Wild1 site the WO 576, 577, and 578 fit; only the 575 does not fit the 14's

All there bars fit the 14's except the 575's - same with most of the other bar manufacturers I've seen - they just say the 575's don't. I believe the stock bars are also the same as previous years.

Default Call 'em

The people at Wild One are great. Call them up and I'm sure they can give you the best answer and also tell you if they are planning a new bar to fill in that spot in their lineup.

I haven't had a chance to call em, but I did get a reply via email that they don't fit and they don't plan on making a version of the 575 that fit the 14's.

I was just curious if anybody on here had tried them..
