It depends how tall you are and how much reach is comfortable for you. I put Carlini Clean sweeps on my 04. They are 1 1/2 and they are the 7 inch rise. I am 5'10 and they are perfect for me. Just a little more reach than the stock. And a little lower. The 9 inch will be closer to the stock position but in my opinion they look a little tall from the front. If you need more pull back the supersweeps are good. But you have to get the 9 inch supers because the 7's will hit the tank. Good luck. They are a great improvement over the stock bars.

GaryC,

Did you have to change out anything with the Carlinis? I want to keep everything stock if I can don't want to get a longer clutch cable if I don't have to. Do you have a pic we could see of the bike with the new bars? Last question, these bars are further away from you than the stock bars?

Thanks

Here's a pic of my bars on my 05 Deuce. I'm about 5'7" and they fit me fine. I do like to lean forward though just a little. I get a lot of complements on them. I like the whole long of a Deuce with drag bars.

I have the Wild 1 560's because the pullback was slightly more than stock and more low profile...

First off thank you all for replying.Do you have to lengthen any of the cables for either on of the bars?I think im more interested in the ones with more pull back so i dont have to reach.thanks again.

I've been away in Myrtle beach, 1800 miles in 6 days, so I'm just getting back now. As to the question about changing cables, I kept all the stock cables. The reach is just a little bit more than stock, not really that noticable. They are a little lower. You can go for the 9 inch rise, but if you really need the pullback I would go with the 9 inch SuperSweeps. They are like the Wild one 560's as far as pullback. I'm 5'10 and when I talked to Carlini, they recomended the Clean sweep 7 inch for me instead of the 9 inch supersweeps. You have to go with the 9 on the supersweeps for tank clearence. I did check out the wid ones but I decided I wanted the inch and a half, because of the look. And then I just fell in love with the curve of the clean sweeps.
