This is the kit I bought. Not exactly inexpensive.

Interesting. I figured they would be taller. Mine are 12"

12” bars put your hands above the fairing. They may be a more comfortable arm position but I didn’t want to lose the wind&weather protection of the fairing.

I went back and looked at your pics. Are you looking through or over that windshield?.

My research tells me that mine are stock size on the Ultra, figured yours would be similar. Hence my surprise.

There’s a good you tube video of the installation on a black street glide. Check it out, I think I’ll be happy with the new position.

Cool. We'll be expecting detailed blow-by-blow pics and storytelling.

And with that, I'm out.

Halito Woods. Stan, I bought a set up like this a few years ago.... I have the 6" and 3" orbital polishers. A bit of overkill for my needs, but I got "sucked" in by my want for tools!! Check out the Griot website....they have numerous videos on all their products and how to use. I find their synthetic clay pad works well on vehicles that have been driven for a while. Use their polishes, cleaners, wax, soaps.....they have my vote!!! Eaglefan may disagree with me, but it works for me.
Snow this morning.... news said 3", but looks like just a good coating at my place. Shouldn't take much to clean walks and drive. Y'all be careful out there....no slipping and sliding! Lurker out.....
