thanks guys for the advice.. my risers are 1 1/4" and I'm only 5'6"... I might just test bolt the bars on when they come in and see exactly where there are in reference to my shoulders.. sure don't wont to ruin my riding time...

The old law was kind of loosely defined on how the plate needed to be displayed. Thanks to the squids playing hide and seek with their plates the new law is very clear that the plate needs to be at the rear of the bike with the letters/numbers horizontal to the ground reading left to right. Has to be solid mounted and not able to hinge up, over or any other direction. At least they didn't go with the cage sized plates like some wanted.

Just dont ride your apes through South Carolina if they are so many inches over your seat...They dont play. I watch my buddy get harrassed by the POPO and he is 6'10". The cop got an attitude an nearly **** when he got in the biker's face and then the biker stood up. LOL
16"apes, 4" risers, $300 ticket, came to mid chest on him. The cop was a Richard.....

Ahhhh..........thats not really true.I can do a couple of hundred miles without my hands going numb....at least not any more than with any other bars.You heart is "pumping" blood........its not just draining out of your arms.Unless you have poor circulation or your arms are straight up in the air it's really not any worse than any other bars
