I have been riding with the 12" RSD vintage for a little over a year and they are great bars. i went with the 3" RSD moto risers too. Cable length will vary and yes plan on extending the electrical. IMO, for the rocker its better to go 16" ; 12" does not give it much rise over stock. I am selling my bars so shoot me an IM if intersted.

I have the Road6 Customs knock offs, with the RSD 1" riser (depending on how tall you are, I am 5'9).
This would be a 6 hour shop time (for internal wiring) + new Clutch cable + maybe new front brakes Cable + extensions, so expect to shell out some cash.
If you are doing the job yourself, then it is much less expensive.

But if you ask me, this is the one change that made the bike look TOTALLY different and I would never go back to the old dragbars again.

Here I am! Busy day guys. I think the RSD's would look great. Add some Magnum sterling chromite cables and you are golden. Plus Magnum is in upstate NY too so they will get them to you super fast! Email at DREW@DRVTWIN.COM and we can talk more.

Which bars do you want? Vintage 12"'s or the king apes 17"?

To the OP...the day I chose the size of my I was watching Zombieland and Woody Harrelson said "time to nut up or shut up". Right then I decided to get 16". True story but I'm also 6'2". I base everything off that quote or "go big or go home" now haha!

Scheers...thanks, finally got it out of my garage. I've had 2 inches of ice built up in front of it and couldn't get it out. Does anyone else ever tell you the avatar of Mr. McGibblets is funny ****? Love that show!

Yeah I think I'd go with the 12 inch vintage apes. Love the way they look. Don't want to get to crazy with the height.
KLF33: Def like the way it changed the look of your bike. Thats what I'm shooting for.
