Looks really great! Love the color. Only thing I'd do is change to 1 1/2" KST handlebars...)
Think I'm about to jump up to a new 2024 25th anniversary CVO 121. Looked at one today in gloss black w/dark red accents & carbon fiber accents...fell in love! But it's about $46K!!??

I am 6' 1" with my height coming mostly from the hips up. (I have an extra vertebrae, different story). I went with KST Kustoms adjustable bars to get more rise, pullback and narrowed grip width. There are so many set ups out there and hardly anywhere to test. If you are super lucky you may find someone close by, but it's a long shot. That is why I went with an adjustable set after deciding on how tall I wanted them. I couldn't be more happy.

Just put on a Le Pera Daddy Long Legs TALL seat which moved me back 2" and up 2". this is making me lean too far forward to reach the bars. I'm 6'5" with 35" arms and have tilted the factory bars back to help with the reach, but it's still too far. I'm finding the stock bars are too wide for a full lock turn and need something that brings the bars about 6" closer, 4-6" higher and about 3-4" narrower. I've emailed KST asking what bar they suggest, but I'm open to ideas from other tall folks that have gone through this already
thanks

I also recommend KST 1.5" thick, I have the 14" Spearheads.
They are great looking bars, and while I'll admit, I didn't like them as much while on a stock seat, the bars themselves are so adjustable (thanks to the 3-piece system), that its hard to find a way NOT to make them work for you.

I actually use solid aluminum bushings, especially with apes, that my local indy CNCs. Dont like any handlebar movement and I’ve never had any issues with additional engine vibration at the bars.

Ditto here, I run solid aluminum bushings as well on my 16" apes. No issues at all with vibration.
