I finally received my Corbin dual tour seat and it moved me up and back. I'm now seriously thinking about changing my handlebars to Wild 1 575 to get more pullback.  http://www.wild1inc.com/whats_new.html

Do any of you have these bars on your SEEG?  Are you happy with them? Was the stock wiring for the controls, throttle cables, brake and clutch lines long enough to accommodate the extra rise and pullback? If not, which items had to be replaced and do you have part numbers for the replacements?

Are they any other alternatives for handlebars that'll fit the SEEG?

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide

Just an update...  I ordered the Wild 1 575 bars with the left side recess for the hydraulic clutch master cylinder.  The bars were in stock and shipped the same day.  I removed the stock bars Sunday afternoon and started installing the 575 bars last night.  

Other than the front brake line, all the stock wiring harnesses, clutch line and throtlle cables are long enough. Just sitting on the bike they feel great. The bars are wider and have more pullback than the stock bars.  The 1-1/4" diameter of the bars looks strong and fit the "personality" of the SEEG.

Hopefully I'll have time today to go and pick up a longer front brake line so I can finish up the installation.  I'll post before and after pics once I'm finished.

I finally finisihed installing the 575 bars and went for a short ride. It feels like a totally different bike. It felt really weird the first couple of times I turned the front wheel while backing the bike out the garage.  Hard to explain, but the extra width made it feel more like the Road King I had a year or so ago that also had Wild 1 bars (which is a good thing).  The added width also gives more leverage for counter steering making it almost effortless. The extra pullback seems about perfect for me at 5'9".

I did take pics and will post them as soon as my home computer is up and running again. I also installed the Corbin "stinger" solo seat and took pics of that too.

My wife reminded me this week of what I said when I was thinking about buying the SEEG. That was "If I buy this bike I won't have to do anything to it. It has everything I want right out of the box".  I guess I was wrong as usual!

Do you happen to have the part number for that longer front brake line?
The sales rep at Wild said that the stock line would work, but if you have actually done the installation and say that it needs the longer line, then thats the way I'll go.  Thanks

The bars look really good! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]
Are they taller than the stock bars?

How much wider are they than the stock bar.  Are your hands still covered by the fairing.

Depends what angle you install them at.

Thanks twolanerider, did you also order the wo575's?

Yeah Mobe, sure did.  Ordered it just yesterday or the day before (forget which).  The girl at Wild 1 told me I got the last one with the clutch recess that they had in stock.  Sorry 'bout that.....  Hopefully someone in the dealer channel someplace will have something though.

I'd waited to see where the new seat was going to put me and how everything would "feel" with it in place.  After about five hundred miles on the new seat it's been the case that it takes about an hour in the saddle then I start "feeling it" between my shoulder blades.  A little more on the right than on the left.   But it's a discomfort that I'm pretty sure bringing the bars a bit closer to me will help.  So it's one last change to be done before spring then nothing will be in the way of just riding it.

Thanks for the info guys.  I take it thats a HD # on the brake hose.
