Bigfoot, what bars are on your pic above?  Maybe I missed it but they look a couple of inches taller than WO 578's.  Does the grip width of the WO578 bother anyone particularly in slow turns?

I went with the 577's, 12.5" bars.  I have a 37" sleeve length, so the width fits me really well.

Thanks, I have KW 2+2's on an older Limited and probably looking at 578's when I upgrade rides.  Want to keep hands behind fairing.  I too have a long sleeve length so can handle the wide bars in slow turns but do notice it in full lock parking.  Specs on 578's look to be about an inch wider on each side than my 2+2's and maybe an inch taller.  The KW 2+2 bar shape does not fit the inner fairing as well as the WO bars and are smaller so difficult to inner wire.

I really like the short chrome trim piece on the side of the front fender. Did you install? If so, please post the part number if you don't mind. I have a Ultra Limited and would love replacing the word "Limited" with that trim piece. Much cleaner. Thank you

Thank you! Did you install the bar? or did it come on your bike. Again, thank you.

It comes on HDI bikes as standard, Scott.

I just bought a 2014 Ultra Limited CVO. Hate the stock Bars. I had 575s on my 2011 Ultra Classic CVO and loved them. Unfortunately they (the 575s) don't fit the 2014. So I am forced to get the 578s. Don't really care for apes but they are the closest to the 575s. I wonder if I pull the bars back towards me if they will be closer to the 575s. What I mean by that is if you look at the schematic that shows all the bagger bars in that picture it looks as though if you roll the bars back at the rider it looks as though it would end up in the same spot as the 575s. Any thoughts on that. Really need input before shelling out money for something I wont like. :-\

There is some adjust-ability in the 578's, they can be moved forward and back a bit. I think they are very, very comfortable, you don't notice the added width and no pull on the shoulder blades. Hands are still below the fairing. These "look" like they belong on the bike.

I was in the same position as you - I went with the HD pullback bars which are a lot more comfortable.  I still think the 575s could fit though...  I think your problem in pulling back the 578s will be there can't be much movement before they hit the tank on lock.

PS: Changing the bars on a '14 is an awful lot quicker and easier than on earlier years!!

Did you put the HD 2 inch pullbacks on? Did you need any cables or changes or extensions, I'm going in next week to replace the front end and I might have them put on pullbacks when I'm in there. They didn't seem to know if they needed any extra parts or if the 2 inch pullbacks would even fit. The website says the HD 2 inch pullbacks won't fit the Limited CVO. Please advise!

Yup, the HD 2" pullbacks Bill.  Absolutely NO extra parts needed under any circumstances.   The reason the website says they won't fit is because they don't fit into the "channels" where the stock bars sit on the inner fairing, but you just keep them a little further back from the inner fairing and they are fine.
