Some buddies and myself will be riding to Kingman during the Laughlin run. All of us have bars above shoulder height. How serious are the cops about the bar height? A couple of my buds have badges so we won't be violating any other laws.

If they'll get you anywhere, it will be in Laughlin due to the high presence of LEO's. Good luck! We'll be there too. How 'bout you Wild Bill?

 

I have been to the river run 10 times with 18 inch bars that were above my shoulders and never had a problem. have lived in az for 4 years again with no problems. But the police in both places are strict and if you give them a reason to they will pull you over. good luck

 

I have been to the river run 10 times and live in arizona and havent had any problems with law. I run 18 inch apes and they are above the shouders. If you give them a reason they will pull you over. When in bullhead city do not speed it is full of radar traps

 

They are usually not a stickler on handlebar height. I have seen and know lots of guys with tall bars around here and Vegas. No tickets... but like mentioned... if your being an *** you also get a ticket for your bars.. i do nto think they will ticket you just for your bars though.
