looks good. Trying to decide between the Yaffe's, KST's, and the Twin Peak's.

Thanks on the grip info. So if I told you I was 5'8", 29" arm length, 22" reach (pit to knuckles), & 225lbs if that matters would u still recommend the 14's or 12's in my case? Just asking your opinion.

Twin peaks are reasonably priced and almost always in stock. I sell a lot of them for that exact reason. No 3 month wait makes for a happy customer. As far as cables, I have a buddy who works at LA Choppers so if you need to know what is needed I can provide the cables as well. Don't forget the poly riser bushings and 1 piece top clamp as well.

I would say based on what you have provided, 12's instead of 14's. Even though you can pull the bars back somewhat for an adjustment, I think 14's might be too high, and too far away from you. (based on you're arm length overall). The only true way would be to get on a bike with both types of bars and get a feel for what's right. Another way, would be grab a yardstick and hold it out in front of you seated on you're bike. where both arms extend out to where you are comfortable measure the distance over and above the stock bars. I believe streetglide stock bars are 8"high from the bend upward. the distance over and above would give you a better idea as to bar size. Also don't lock your arms. You need to keep a bend in them for comfort level. And as the other quote indicated (Hogpro's), make sure you get the poly bushings for the bars along with the cable kit. Stock bushings are rubber and not worth a ****. Hope I have helped you out.
