I have a question, if you roll the 578's down will that give you more pull-back than 575's. Just looking for that 2" closer to the rider that every short rider seems to be talking about. You know its for a friend not me. Lol. Still looking for that perfect set of bars...... Jon.

Jon,

I wouldn't think rolling them back will help with pull back. It sounds like it would but if you look closely at these bars they are also wider ( Grip to Grip ) than the 575's and OEM bars. If you rolled them down you would just create tall bars to shorter if that makes sence. The 578's are designed solely for height with minimal pull back like stock. The 575's are designed for all Pull Back with same height as stock. Bars are tricky but if you want bars closer to you due to short arms I would suggest 575's. If you need height as well I would suggest 578's with a seat that sits you closer to the bars. There is more than one way to skin the cat. Hope this helps

Yes they will more pullback.  I called the factory and spoke with them about the 575 and the 578s.  The key difference between the two is the dogleg bend above the riser.  This adds in getting pullback when rotated toward the rider without just having the bars roll downward.  He said that the 578s have lots more adjustment room by rolling them.  He said the 575s dont have any either they fit you or they dont and not much can be done.  I gave him my situation and he recomeded the 578s just for the ability to adjust them.
I hope that helps good luck with your choice.  My RedEagle is getting them installed as we speak...*S  I took a before pic of me showing how extended my arms are I will take a after photo as soon as she is ready.

Hey folks

Just picked up my 2013 CVO Electra Glide Tribal Orange Friday 3-1-13.  AMAZING     So I did 3 mods before picking up bike.
I changed the handlebars. I went with Wild One Chubby bars model WO578 in chrome, description says 2 inches higher than stock. The existing
cables and lines all fit and none of them look like there being stretched. If you are going to use the GPS (and I done see why you wouldn't)
you will have to pull the bars toward you 3/4 of an inch. The bars do not obstruct the view on the GPS .Very Happy with bars so far.
Next mod : I took stock exhaust off and replaced with Vance and Hines Power Dual Head pipe and 4inch blackout rounds.  Yes I broke up all that chrome 
with black exhaust. Looks Fantastic, also installed Harley Race Tuner.

I WILL POST PICS TODAY  !!!!!!!!

Well, thanks for the input I have 575 on my cvo. Little bit of a conflict in answers. Are 578s wider than 575s ? That sounds like it would take away the benifet of trying to row them back ? This is for Susans bike, but if I found something better for her I would consider using also. She doesn't like the width of my 575s but still needs to be closer to her. Has anyone heard of bars called Santee that offer the kind of pull-back alot of us are looking for ? Thought I saw a bike in American bagger that looked to have bars that were pulled back alot in pictures and they were listed as Santee bars. Anyone have any experience with these ? Thanks for all the input . Jon

Hmmmm.......  if 578s are wider than 575s, they must be very wide indeed!  My problem with short arms and 575s is that you lose the advantage of the extra pullback because they are so wide and you have to really stretch outwards. My ideal bar would be one that is 2" narrower and 2" more pullback than the 575, to let me sit up properly.

Wow, 2" wider than the 575??  I would not like those, one bit!  More for show than go I think.
