  I had to go on a (4 wheeled) trip so while away I had my dealer install Wild 1 575s on my Ultra. I wanted more pull-back as my arms just weren't quite long enough for a comfortable fit, and these achieved that. I was also hoping that they would be a bit higher but I only gained about a half inch or so as best I can tell. Over-all I am happy with them ---and they certainly look beefy.

Nice bike. I too added the WO575's to my 05 Ultra and are they nice. I see you opted to keep your cables i the factory location as I did. It would have been cheaper to reroute them but I like the clean look. Congrats on a great looking ride.

THANKS FOR ALL THE DETAILED PICS!  I have been really considering this mod.  When I had the Corbin Dual Tour I moved closer to the handlebars and now that I have the Mustang it has moved me back a little.  I have only put 25 miles on the bike with the new saddle so I want to go on a long ride to really see how I feel. 

I am going to adjust the handlebars first and see if I can gain an inch that way - my local dealer said it would be close to $1200 to have the 575's installed, the dealer in Seattle said $900.  Not a inexpensive upgrade but I don't think I have found an Inexpensive Upgrade/Mod on this site yet.

When I first joined here I would look at all the mods you guys had done and not understand half of your signatures - WELL I GUESS $7000 LATER I CAN SAY I AM A FULL FLEDGED MEMBER (a special Thanks to AJ ) so really what is another $1200 purchase.

I am getting Metzler 880's and Heat Demons installed next week .  Online now looking at Heat shields and Dragon Wings .  And by the way my dealer is going to credit me what Moco would give them to replace the existing OEM heated grips and install the heat demons.  They also will warrant the Heat Demons with my extended warranty for the next 5 years.  I will post the credit they give me once I know.

Firecheif,Nice Handlebar Modification!
As of this weekend I am considering doing the same.
I have your bike and have 9800 miles, and am still not as comfortable as I want to be with the stock handlebars.
I am a little over 6 ft. tall with a 35 sleeve length.

I was considering the Harley pullbacks. Can you tell me:

What would be the differance between the Wild 1 575's and the Harley Pullbacks?

What source did they use to replace the braided Hyd. Brake line with, and does it match with other braided lines to your satisfaction?

What was your total cost for this nice modification that you did.

I also have the silver white 08' have short arms only 5-7 32 inch sleeve about 8,000 miles was looking for the answer but still dont bother me much. when I get the money I might do that as well.

Thanks for the detailed pictures.  Did the heated grips work with those bars?

I haven't seen the HD pullbacks so I don't know what the difference would be -- hopefully some-one else can fill us in on this one.
The dealership built new braided line and yes it is a good match
Total cost was $902. That also included having them run a separate hot wire through the clutch grommet hole for my gps unit

Yes they did. The only issue I had was that because the bars are 1&1/4 inch I had to replace my RAM mounts ---- no biggy though
