Nameless, how tall are you, and what seat are you going with? I'm in the market for some bars and those 18's look nice but I don't know if reaching is going to be a problem. I like the Assault Bars bars but wish thy made them in 18's so I can match the look with the engine guard design. I'm 5'11 by the way and have the C&C solo seat. I'm gonna have to go to the next Long Beach Swap meet when they're out there so I can sit on one of their bikes that's on display, so I can get a feel for it.

Im 6'0" tall bro, im running the LP Barebones seat. I was rockin some 18's for a while not too long ago. They feel good to me. I was wanting to go to 20's but didnt feel like buying new cables and a brake line. My 18's that i have now are 1-1/4". The Bars I just bought are 1-1/2".

Heres a pic of my bike with the 18's 1-1/4". they look too skinny for the height.

Serious? Im 6'2 maybe i should do the 20s as well.. im already gonna need to change the cables. I figure i will make my final decision after i swap the seat and bag the rear... hopefully i dont get hassled by the cops. Legal bar height in BC is only at shoulders.... but then again... *** the police lol

Nameless your bike looks clean, is the your arm above your shoulders when riding. Cause if it's not that much above ur shoulder then the 20's I might look into.

Cool thx for the input Nameless, it gives me a better perspective on which bar size to go with. I've decided to go with the 20's. I'm going to take a little trip to Buky Bars shop sometime next week since they are not to far from my place. Thx again.
