I and a lot of others have used the 575 bars from Wild1.  They look good.  But more importantly they feel good.  Great improvement for that pain in the shoulders and back. 

A guy around here had a used set he was intending to sell a few months ago.  They'd been on his Ultra before he went to some stupid looking ape thing.  I'll see if he still has them and let you know.

Congrats on the 1K, Steve.  I'd imagine Soma would be a welcome pain reliever about now.   :2vrolijk_21:

Hey Steve,

You put us all to shame!  I road 505 miles to get home, could not picture having to ride another 495!!!

Great meeting you in MV....

The 575 WO bars make a huge difference.
If I were reccomending about the heated grips... ???  I'd tell you to try the heat demons instead.  Since I'm on the sixth, no, maybe seventh, oh heck it could be tenth set of grips on my bike, I've lost faith completely.

Congratulations on that first thousand miler Steve! :2vrolijk_21:

HD gauges aren't accurate.  The odometer on my SEEG always clocks a mile or two more than everybody I ride with.......so my SEEG doesn't really have 58,000 miles. :nixweiss:             :huepfenlol2:

Seriously, I'm thinkin your GPS is more accurate.  The next time you take a long trip with somebody else, compare your odolmeter with theirs.

Since HD speedos read 3-7 MPH faster than you're actually going, it makes sense your mileage on the speedo will be off too. I agree with JC, go by the GPS unit. ;)

Hoist! :coolblue:

No matter which tool Steve uses to measure his ride home, he crossed the 1,000 mile mark in one day.

No luck on the used bars Steve.  Called the guy this morning and he said they had "become art."  Don't know for sure what that means but he did say they can't go back on a bike ever again.

Wow :2vrolijk_21:  That is hardcore.  I'd like to think I'm pretty tough but I dont believe I could have done it.
