Sorry little late.

I didn't move the nummer plate this is the way the HDI models for Europe are build.

The Moco Garmin mount does fit on standard bars en didn't hide the gauges. I still use the Garmin so i can use the aftermarket Map for motorroutes

I know that they are built like that (As I'm in Europe, and I've had five!  )  What made me ask is in the picture in this thread, you have the number plate down there, but in your earlier photos in another thread you had it in the US position!  (You were looking for the medallion, remember?)

Ok fellas, got it home from the mechanic.  The Wild 1 578 is just below the top of the fairing and just inside of the outside edges.  The front shots are from about 45* angles and the rear is standing right behind the bike.  Rode about 45 miles home last night and they feel GREAT!!!  Sorry for the pic quality but the sun is blazingly bright here today.  Pics below....

Looks a lot better than I imagined, Ernie - maybe I should think that way....

In all honesty I was a little apprehensive to go with the 578s.  I could not find a bike that had them on it and I had no way to gauge the feel or height.  That said, the mechanic I took it to said I'd like them and they would offer what I wanted out of the handlebars...a little highter and a little closer to me.  He was right and the feel soooooooooo  goooooooood!!!!

Ah!  Yes, visibility is bad, but not something I'd be worrying about on mine.

Thanks Ernie. It's a bit hard to tell from the WO website exactly how they differ from 575s.  I've had 575s on my last three bikes, but would like something a little narrower (575s are wide so a real stretch on full lock) and about 2" further back, same wrist angle, and no higher.  How close would you say they come to that?

If you want narrower bars the 578s are not the bar for you.   If my memory serves me correctly, the 578s bar is 36" wide.  I detailed in my post earlier in the thread why the 575s will not work on the 14s.  That was the bar I wanted but a no go.  I looked at some Yaffe bars too but I like the fatter bar look as it matches my belly better!!!!!

Had the MOCO Tallboy handlebars installed on mine. No issues with cable lengths, etc.

If you had them installed on a '14 batwing bike, do you have pics?

You're right - the 578 is 2" wider than the 575.    I have to say that I STILL think the 575 can be made to fit though....

I bought the 578's, just trying to find time to put them on. How long did it take your guy to install thwm. Did the oem wires and lines fit or were they extended?  I like the look of them on your bike. Thanks for being the first to try it and congrats on finding a bar that fits you.

The stock hydraulic clutch and front brake hoses were changed out for some longer ones.  The wiring was extended 3-4" just in case I didn't like these and ever wanted to change to a 12" bar.  Now that I have about 750 miles on these bars I like them....a lot and don't plan on any changes.

Just took a 800+ mile trip to Laughlin River Run and the bars felt great.  Still low enough and below the top edge of the fairing to block the majority of the wind, arm position is very comfy.  I may roll back just 1" to make them absolutely perfect.

I'm taking my bike in Sunday for the shop to put on Monday. Looking forward to getting my hands on them.

Hey Ernie, had the Harley Pullbacks on my last ultra, they are 2 inches wider and back to the rider 2 inches, how do your bars compare to the Harley Pullbacks?
And about how much did the dealer charge for the install?

Is it necessary to lengthen the break, clutch and wiring to install the 578's or did you make the change just in case a taller bar was in your future plans?
