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

I am 5'5" with about the same shirt sleeve as you and they feel great to me.

Dealer do the install for you? Any issues during your install with new fairing design? Were you able to use all the stock cables too?

Dealer did the installation. No issues at all. Stock cables and wiring.

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.

I always told my kids anything they did to increase their insurance premiums they'd have to work and pay the difference....just a thought.

I actually rode down to the Wild 1's location and talked to John about the bars.  The 575's are also what I wanted and he showed me why they won't fit the 14s.  The 575's don't have the additional bend, I'll call forward for lack of a better term (as they come out of the fairing they are coming slightly toward the rider and then bend into an upward direction), and they will hit the fairing on the 14s.  He then got a pair of 578's which are 10" (not 12" like some have said here) and they have the forward bend. and with them rolled back just a bit toward the rider they are very similar to the 575's.  The 578s are just a little taller but my hands will still be below the top of the fairing...which is what I want.  I got the 578s from Direct Cycle Parts (also close to home) for much less than Wild 1's price and will be having them installed very soon.  I'll post pics.

Are they drilled for internal wiring, cvosjoe?

If your looking for a custom awesome looking bar. Take a look at the vindikta bars (vindikta.com). He has bars that fit the 2014's as well. They look a lot like the yaffe bagger bars but are 1.5 diameter vs 1.25. Gives you a one of a kind look that not everyone will have. And Joe is an amazing guy to work with. Cheaper than yaffe bars too.

Had the MOCO Tallboy handlebars installed on mine. No issues with cable lengths, etc.

It goes to the mechanic on Sunday the 6th.  He got busy with bikes for the Arizona bike week and asked if I could wait a couple weeks.  No problem as he is a top notch mechanic.  He'll have it a week or less and I'll post the pics as soon as I get it home!!

Thanks!

Why did you move your number plate back down to the bottom, Ruud?

Is that the MoCo Garmin mount that goes on the switch housing screws?  Did you have it on the standard bars, and does the Garmin hide any of the gauges with the standard bars?

Jim

Sorry little late.

I didn't move the nummer plate this is the way the HDI models for Europe are build.

The Moco Garmin mount does fit on standard bars en didn't hide the gauges. I still use the Garmin so i can use the aftermarket Map for motorroutes

Ok fellas, got it home from the mechanic.  The Wild 1 578 is just below the top of the fairing and just inside of the outside edges.  The front shots are from about 45* angles and the rear is standing right behind the bike.  Rode about 45 miles home last night and they feel GREAT!!!  Sorry for the pic quality but the sun is blazingly bright here today.  Pics below....
