it isn't the worst thing in the world because at least the wrist angle is better and it is about an inch taller than stock. so they work they just are not as tall as i wanted. i will ride em for the remainder of this season and see how it goes.

you will not be happy,,,,,get taller ones....

Seriously.... are you even going to mention what bars you're talking about?

I dunno.
I believe I'd be more concerned about one dude offering another dude a "big hung"..........

You did, but that happens sometimes. Hopefully you can change to Vinditka's 14" bars and re-use your current wires and cables, without having to fork out additional $$. Then re-sell your 12" bars and recoup whatever money you can.
Take some time to think this over. No need to rush.

L A Choppers makes very nice riser extensions. I used the one and a half inch on my Heritage and love it. It had a one and a half inch rise so I ended up with 3" plus the 12 inch mini apes.
