I think I'm going with the 10".
Yeah, I was under the same impression. Think I will stick with my plan for 10" as well.

Awesome just what I was looking for, thanks. I will stick with 10" and should be perfect. I'm 5'10" but need to stick below shoulder height due to 5 shoulder surgeries in the last 2 years. Love the Factory47's, great craftsmanship, but just too wide and cause some problems. I think these will be perfect and feel like my old Night Train, minus the wind.

Ended up ordering a set of 10" bars to replace my 10" Factory47 bars, hope they work out good. Was a long debate with myself between 10" and 12", settled with 10" because that is what I have now and know it works for my shoulder. Figure the only change would be the narrower grip spacing and better wrist angle.

I'm still thinking about the 10"; for some reason, the 12" in the picture above seem higher than I would want to be. Looking forward to seeing the next install.
Anyone have a favorite video or instruction set for installing bars on the new Road Glides? I know there's a bunch out there.

I’m 5’10 with average length arms. The bars don’t feel too tall for me keep my hands @ about even shoulder height. Now that I’ve put some miles on em I probably could’ve gotten away with 14” bars. That seat in the pic is a custom Lepera Villian it sits me down and back so that also makes them look taller

What angles are you looking for? Posted pics from the side view and cockpit. Really can’t see them from the front over the fairing. Don’t remember the name but they are H-D brand mirrors and H-D lighted hand controls and H-D heated Kahuna grips
