Title: H-D Reach bars for FLHXSE
Post by: jc15025 on May 17, 2020, 09:38:50 AM

 Has anybody changed to Reach H-D handlebars? If so did they eliminate long ride shoulder pain? Thank you, the other JC :beerchug:

I put 10” Wild One Chubbies on my ‘17 CVO Limited and on my ‘19 CVO SG. For me they eliminated the pain between my shoulders...

I also put on the Wild One Chubbies and that helped with the shoulder and neck pain. I believe the HD reach bars just bring them back toward you and not really bring your shoulders up and out to relieve shoulder pain.

Add me to the list as well on the Wild 1 Chubby bars...had them on my 08 Street Glide and they were awesome.  Had I kept my 12’ Flhxse3, I was going to install the 10” on there as well.  Not sure of your height or stature, but if you’re under 6’ tall they are a good choice and excellent quality product.

Good luck...

 Found out that Wild 1 Chubby WO579 have 34.5" width, 9" rise, 14" pullback which is about 3" more pullback than my stock bars according to Wild 1.

Thank you joe98. I was 5'8", now I'm 5'6" due to age and back problems. I wear a 32/33" dress shirt. I'm still deciding which way to go? Wild ones W0579 8 1/2" rise or W0578 10: rise? The 579 have more pullback than the 578. But I like where the 579 are in relationship to the height of the fairing.

Will chubby’s work with heated grips? I heard the reach bars don’t

I have a 2019 limited CVO with heated grips and they work fine on my wild one chubby 10 inch. I did cut off 3/8 inch off the left grip as recommended by wild one chubby installation instructions to eliminate seeing the smaller part of the handlebar at the switch housing.

On the WO579, does the cables need to be changed out to longer ones?

Yes and yes.  And keep the stock cables and wiring.
