I used to have 12.5's on my road king classic. They were awesome but I felt I should have went taller. I now have 18's on my flstc (16's with 2 inch risers). I read on here once that whatever size you like go 2 inches higher and I think that is a good rule of thumb.

how far are you guys leaning forward with those 10" strip bars leaned straight up the way they are on your bikes. Or is the placement just raised up a bit higher than stock? Really like the look of those for my Slim

Here are my 12.5 BR Customs Bars. They are being mounted as we speak. I love that they are 1.5 bars.

The lean isn't much more than the stock drag bars. It's definitely a forward lean though, so if you're used to sitting back, they'll be quite different.
