Got steel just not sure how tall to go, I am making this to run with a solo seat and luggage rack

 

RB ...

I got the 18" Attitude Stick on mine ....... bars are H-D mini apes over 3.5" straight risers. Bars and Stick are at close to the same height. I like the look and leave the stick on even with the bike in solo. Check some of Tommay's and Bassman's posts to see pics of 30" Bars. Generally speaking .... I like 'em tall.

Well,
Just be sure you can get in under the canopy at the Sonic.....I think I want some of those but with a fold-down luggage rack attached somehow....I got a buddy that I think can make 'em if I can get him away from all the artsy-fartsy handrail type stuff he plays with.......

I have also seen a set from Harley in the last couple of months (probably a gazillion dollars) but I can't find them right now......I think the only application was for softails though and if it was for the newer ones with the 200 tire, I don't know what the bracket width would be ........I'm gonna search again......

 

OK....I think this is it.....way shorter than I thought it was, I thought it came out to put a tall bar on the new Softail Custom.....

As long as your not dragging squirrels out of trees. I'd say go for it.

 

After thinking on it .... I wonder if a more sweeping design might not fit your bike better .... something that mimics the sweep on your bars. Might not be as functional to strap things to though.

Something along these lines only taller----> http://www.nycchoppers.com/bike_lucky191.htm

If you can bungee jump from your sissy bar, it's too tall.

 

I am having one made as we speak, It'll be 24" off the sideplates...

 

Anything taller than me, I would consider to tall. Mine is 30"

 

Much over 30" I think would be too tall.

did you twist that yourself, and is it 9/16" ?
