If anybody wants them, they can have them. I'll post them up in the pay it forward section.

The pull backs are quite a bit different from stock? How much pull back is it?

I think they do support TBW. Nice looking bars. I also like the ones by Roland Sands too....

Yes they are quite different. The cable requirements are +2 over stock. Made for people with shorter arms. I could not turn the bars full lock and keep my inside hand on the bars, wrist would not bend that far.

I had 14 inch pull-back Beach-Bars on my Road-King and loved them.

Need a set? I have my originals.

I just put some WO 575's on last weekend. I agree, what a PIA. The wiring HAS to go inside the bars, and you have to tahe the molex connector apart and feed all 24 wires through one by one. I had to replace the clutch cable because the stock was too short, and you have to disassemble the entire right side of the bike to do that. Ok, I exaggerate a little, just the exhaust, floorboards and transmission cover. And if you forget to drain the trannny fluid before you take the cover off your garage floor turns a very pretty color red. Don't ask how I know this. The, to replace the thottle cables you have to take the tank off, and the manual starts referring to removing the cruise control module and ohm meters, blah blah blah. Now, I realize that spilling a full tank of gasoline on the floor would help clean up the transmission fluid, but I didn't feel like turning my garage into a giant bomb so that's a project saved for another day.

I'm right there with ya, I had the exact same experience, what a PITA, but well worth it once finished.

I think if I had had to change the cables I prolly would have not done it myself. The other part was enough for me. Tip on the wiring. It goes through just fine with the original sheath on all at once. I put a bit of dielectric grease on it to help it through but even that might not be necessary. Plenty of room.
