They really do!  Got me wonderin' if I shoulda gone with those instead of 575s.   Won't know 'til Spring!

Of all the bars for bat wing fairing baggers (with 14" centers) only the 575s get the bars back closer.  They have a 13" pullback which is 2" more than the other bagger bar options from WO.  Compared to the 575s the 578s have the same rise and are 2" wider (36.5" vs 34.5") but have an 11" pullback as do the 576s and 577s.  Now if you want something taller, more 'apeish' then the 576s or the 577s would do it.  But only the 575s have the extra 2" pullback which is what I like.

I'm happy with my 575s also.

Stock bars have 12 and a half pullback. The chart on this thread only has bars with one half inch more pullback than stock. Where is the other 2 inches. Only one bar on the whole chart has1 and 3 quarters more pullback and it is the rg pullbacks. WHAT AM I MISSING GUYS? WHERE IS THE 2 MORE INCHES? Is some of the pullback coming from the rise. I am reaching for my bars and it is very uncomfortable. HEEELLLPPPP!!!

Stock bars have 12 and a half pullback. The chart on this thread only has bars with one half inch more pullback than stock. Where is the other 2 inches. Only one bar on the whole chart has1 and 3 quarters more pullback and it is the rg pullbacks. WHAT AM I MISSING GUYS? WHERE IS THE 2 MORE INCHES? Is some of the pullback coming from the rise. I am reaching for my bars and it is very uncomfortable. HEEELLLPPPP!!!

That's my problem too, Wayne.  575s are what I have had on my last couple of bikes, but they still don't have enough pullback. As I said earlier in the thread, I'd like chubbies with 2" more pullback than the 575, 2" narrower than the 575, and the same wrist angle.

Guess the measurements were made by the same guy that convinced his wife that . . . oh, nevermind.

LOOKING AT THE PICTURES OF DIRTY JIM'S BIKE THEY LOOK GREAT ARE JUST ABOUT AS TALL AS IWOULD LIKE BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE ANY FURTHER BACK THAN STOCK.

Wayne, I'm just a messenger and maybe the message is incorrect, don't know.    All I can tell you is what Wild1 says about the 575s on their website:    "GETS THE GRIPS 2" CLOSER TO THE RIDER ON FLHX, FLHT/C/U/K"

I can tell you that the 575s do get the grips closer than the stock bars - at least on my '07 cuse2 and my '12 cuse7.

Did a little research and looked in the H-D P&A catalog at their bars.  Stock bars for '07 EG (non-CVO) are 55924-97 and are still listed in the P&A catalog showing 6.25 pullback.  Stock bars for '07 CVO cuse2 (56007-04) are not listed in the P&A catalog but those for the '12 CVO cuse7 are - p/n 56036-08 with a 6.50 pullback. Even the bat wing reduced reach handlebar (56176-08) which moco says 'brings controls 2" closer to the rider for increased comfort' only shows 7.50 pullback.

So does the moco measure pullback differently?  From the chart on the catalog it looks the same as Wild1.  Perhaps a misprint?  Jeez, I have a headache now.

I don't know but I wish it was as easy as saying I am 5'7" tall. Who else is my height and can reach their bars comfortably? What size bars do you have sir? Where did you get them? GUESS I AM DREAMING!

The 578s dirtyjim installed have an upward curve in them that the 575s don't, so that would probably put them farther away from the rider than the 575s, though, of course, you should be able to rotate them downward which would bring them closer, too.  I am 5' 11" and I know from the 60 seconds I've sat on my bike after the 575s were installed that they are quite a bit closer.  That's the part that has me a tad concerned.  Don't want them to be too close, but hell, maybe after some miles it will feel just right.

Is your wrist angle the same as stock. Before you changed them were you reaching for them.
