Hey King, If you gonna go with the WO513 and the lines & wires will work will work, do it yourself. 2/3 hrs with basic skills. Go on youtube and see how to unpin the connectors. If the wires are not long enough and you can't or don't know anyone that can solder, take it in. Amazon has the WO513 for $188 free ship. You will also need the Wild 1 adapter, $65 shipped. $253.....done deal!!!!

Still trying to get over the fact that a trained tech would take 7 hours on a bar swap. I'm definitely doing this my self. Another snow storm coming so this project will keep me busy. I don't think it's that hard or going to take 7 hours. I'm thinking about just going with the heritage style bars they're like $90.00 and the parts guy said I shouldn't need the adapter.

Thanks for all the feedback.

After doing some more research I'm not so sure about this parts guy. It looks like those heritage style bars are also 1 inch so I think I still might need the adapter.
Anyone have a part number for the adapter and where you got it.

These look like nice bars. I'm not sure if they would be comfortable or not but, it looks like no adapter would be needed.

Anyone know anything about these bars or the manufacturer?

TIA

I decided to take a chance and placed my order for the LA Chopper bars.
I'm thinking I'll wait until I get the bars before I do the aux lights so I won't have to mess with the bars twice.

If they have the rise & pullback you want you did good. No adapter. Their site said you needed to change risers....NO NO, yours will work fine. On the new bars drop a lenght of small chain thru and then pull a nylon cord. Use some lube, I use pulling gel. Go slow, its easy. BTW: Your aux lites won't have wires in the bars and if you relocate your turns they won't either. Another good idea is to take pics of the plugs before you unpin them. Good Luck.

Update.
Canceled the order for the bars.  Won't work for tbw. It doesn't specify it in the ad. I wish some of these vendors would be a bit more specific with the fitment matrix.
Back to the drawing board.

It can be a hair puller =) 2k was right, about $253.00 for the WO513 set up. Also, I had the heritage bars on my 2012 RK(you would need something extra due to the 1" center.. looks like you figured that already) and I have found that I like the WO513's better, but they are a little wide... I got adjusted to the width fairly quick thou.

You'd figure after the first year the cvo used 1 1/4" bars they would have been producing exact replacements for a reasonable price. Seems like no matter which I go with I'm gonna have to buy extra stuff just to make them work.
Can't win.
thanks everyone for the feedback.

How are they cost wise.
I'm not pinching pennies but the wild ones would run about 250 all said and done, I would just order those before I spend more than that on bars.

I can do wiring/soldering actually for me the wiring is the fun part. The hardest part of this ordeal is finding bars.
