Daytona in about month!

The guy from WO said it was due to the new fairing being wider and the WO bars, due to the 1&1/4" thickness,  couldn't be bent that much. Maybe someone with two bikes together could measure the difference between the new fairing and the old one.

I've had another go at measuring, and I STILL think they'd fit....

Think is a big word !  I think I'll wait for someone else to be a ginea pig. Mine are on hold for a time anyway. Just bought my Daughter a car, my son wrecked his, spend $ 650 to repair my zero turn mower that my son wore out last summer mowing yards, $ 450 for new pool pump, and insurance for two teenagers, one with two wrecks, is killing my cashflow.

Yes, I can understand that, GC!  (non stop rain since October means I have a big roof repair  bill - and I do mean big - so I too am feeling the pinch!)

I wish somebody would try it so we know for sure if there really is a problem that's not easily surmountable....  It all looks possible to me though.

I do too since from the sound of it the guys at WO don't plan to do anything. Given the popularity of the 14's though they might want to rethink that.

The biggest problem is that when I conversed with them via email, they were very vague about why there was an issue, and I didn't get a response beyond that when I asked for clarification. I guess they figured if I only wanted 575s for a 14 I wasn't going to continue to be a customer, so why waste time replying further.  As I see it, the worst case would be having to enlarge the opening in the new fairing very slightly, and I'd be happy to do that, but till someone tries it, we are going to be completely in the dark.

We must of talked to the same guy. Their customer service sucks. He acted like I was an idiot for asking why the bars wouldn't fit a 14 and then when I asked when some might be available he said they wont.  Really ?

Yup, sounds as if it must have been the same guy, I also felt I was being treated as dumb.   I did have a poor experience with them before - bought a set of 575s, brand new, off ebay. They were supposed to have the notches for TBW, but when they arrived they didn't.  I tried to get them to tell me the dimensions to modify them and they point blank refused to tell me. (I went ahead and did it anyway...)

Have always wanted to change the stock HD bars to the Wild I 575's. Finally decided to do it on my 14. Called to order and was bummed to find out that the Wild ones don't fit the 14 Limited due to the new fairing design and the angle being too sharp for.
Does anyone have an option for a 10 inch bar with similar specs  to the 575's  Looked at pics of the 578's, which are I think 12" but I don't want to go that high.

Not sure if this will help you but the Bat Wing Reduced Reach Handlebar-56176-08 will fit the 2014 CVO Limited. I just had them installed and they fit perfectly with no additional part required.

Yes, thanks Joe - I knew that, but the 575s are a bit different.

How's the wrist angle on the HD reduced reach bar? I'm 5'7" with a 32/33 shirt sleeve

I found it to be too much. Try a bike with them on, to me it felt like I was pushing a wheel barrow.

Anyone install HD Tallboy handlebars on the '14 Limited? If so, did you have to replace any cables?
