Wild 1 chubby handlebars
« on: October 28, 2014, 10:11:56 PM »

Any one here running the Wild 1 chubby 572 (14" apes) handlebars on their road glide? I have a 2011 (FLTRUSE) and am considering these. If you do, could you post pics and thoughts on them? I am just over 6' tall, but sit taller in the saddle because of my long torso and short legs. More like a 6'3" person and long arms

Thanks

I have the 612's on mine. Not sure if the 572's are narrow enough for the RG.

Thank you so much for this  :2vrolijk_21:  I am debating the same model as yours or to go up to the 14" ones. Could you do me a big favor and send me a pic from the back and from the front?

Also, how tall are you?

Thanks

Gotcha. I'm 6' with a 34" inseam and the 12's are okay. 14's might have been a little better for me and I'm sure you'll want the 14's with your reach.

I did my own and can tell you that putting that damn Garmin harness back through the new bars was a PITA! But I got it done. :2vrolijk_21:

Thanks for the pics. I love the pic from the side, it shows your bars are at the same angle as the front forks, I love that look. I am the same height as you, but only a 30" inseam. So yes the 14's may be better for me, especially since they are wider as well

Thanks for the help  :2vrolijk_21:
