I am 6'2" 34 inseam, 35" sleeve, 260 pounder (like long walks in the park and coffee in the...oh, wait, sorry...forgot I was on the HD Forum)...<smirk>.

Anyway, I decided to go with the 515's (10") http://www.wild1inc.com/515lf.html as they are the right combination of looks (I do not like the really high apes on a bagger) and function for me. I am relaxed and have a natural wrist position and bend in the elbows with no feeling of "reaching" or tension.

I am surprised how I like them as I have always envisioned wanting a low and wide bar...but these rock.

Pictures over the weekend on this brand new ride.

Thanks

I don't want the t/i cables hanging down very far below the bar when done, and I may go to the 10" or 12.5" down the road sometime so I think these lengths will allow that. It seems that as I get older (57 , 6'3", 36" inseam) the body keeps changing therefore the ergonomics will too!
