I'm sure there is Fatboy.....just google Drag Speacilties and a couple other sources to see what they have available.  Not common on baggers though......and you'll need to change some cables, lines, etc.  It can get a bit costly.

But I can tell you with your hands at the top of your fairing, you're definately going to need handlebar mounted mirrors and fill the holes in your fairing.

JC,

 The bike is a 2004 SEEG with handlebar mounted mirrors so that'll make it a little easier.... cables and wiring are ~$300 which will double the parts cost which I'm prepared for but if it could be avoided would be a plus.

 Always like the wo575's just not sure they will be tall enough remember I have 12.5" Monkey bars on my Ultra that measure close to 16" in reality once mounted.

Since the wifey rides the SEEG too on occasion I need to be more conservative here.

I have some interest in the Ergo bars but prefer a 1.25" diameter bar.

I have the 575 WO's  i had to extend the brake and the clutch line.  You will have to do both on the 04 to use those bars. >:(   Makes a big difference on a good ride. I ordered the clutch line 8" longer.  Made it an easy install.

I had the Wild One 575s on my old '01 Ultra. They were nice but I preferred the HD Touring Pull Back bars. Here are some pics of the two for comparison purposes. I am now back to the OEM bars on the '06 CVO Ultra. I am getting used to them again and am toying with the idea of the HD Pull Backs again. Probably won't since all the wiring is internal.





Hope this helps

Just picked up my 578's last night. Will have them installed next week. How do you like them vs. the stock bars?

 Let's just say there's no going back.  :2vrolijk_21:

 I went +4" on everything which works fine but if I was to do it over I would have go +6" for a little extra play.

 Good luck with your install you'll be very happy with the results.

I did the plus 8" on the clutch cable.  Made it reallly easy and no worries about routing or when I turn the handlebars all the way    Looks like the 578s are a little higher.
