Sorry

That's ok though, it only works on Dynas so if anyone with one of those Softail things or a Touring bike reads this it won't do them any good.

 

im 6'3 with monkey arms, so i did the same thing. Easy money, took maybe 10 mins.

 

When I had stock bars I pushed em forward. When I went to the 16" Carlini's I shove em as far forward as the windshield will allow, which is vertical or maybe a touch past vert. I love em like that.

All told youre talking about 8 screws to looses and re-tighten to do the job.

 

i shifted mine forward a little from the inline position they installed them at (sig pic was before rotation), i'm not a tall dude at all (5-8), but just felt a bit crunched at the inline position. i didn't move my grips/shifters/etc at all... just loosened two bolts on the riser and pushed it forward a touch.

 

I did on mine after a couple of weeks. Being somewhat tall and long arms, it made it way more comfortable. It took all of about 15 minutes, most of the time trying to find that perfect spot.

 

I've got 12" mini apes on my 00 Wide Glide and I moved my bars to pretty much vertical...maybe a hair forward of that...and it's a much improved riding position and I, too, think it looks way better this way. I'm only 5'7" and I'm still comfy with it...I was leaning to far back before and felt like I was hanging on for dear life on the highway. Moving the bars forward not on made the riding position more comfy but I feel like I've got better control now as well.

 

thats the 1st thing i did when i got to my garage from the dealer ...

 

3"risers put mine in the right spot for me.
