Had changed the Chrome High? Why? Do you have any picture of your bike with it?

Good to know. But the cables becomes stretched? Any more pictures?

Here are a few pics of my bike with the RK High handlebar installed.












Long story short, they felt great at first. But after a few weeks, my wrists again started hurting due to the wrist angle of the bars. Similiar problem that I had with the Heritage Style bars, but to a lesser degree. It must just be my wrists, as the vast majority of people love either these bars or the Heritage Style bars.

Here's my thread that dicusses my experience. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...handlebar.html

Had checked it.. man, I'm now really confused. The baby-ape seems to be the choice, but isn't it too wide? What is your opinion comparing it with the Chrome High, concerning the rise and the pullback? I'd like to lean back on my rider backrest!

Thanks!!

I know this become off-topic (the thread should be for seats!) but could you poste some pics of your bike with the baby-ape? Also, if you don'mind, could you poste somes pics with you on the bike so I could see the rider psition with the baby-ape and Chrome High?

Thank you!

The stock seat sure doesn't give you the comfort. I purchased and comfort stitch for mine and it made all the difference in the world. One more item I would like to get a back rest for me when on long trips.

Hahaha... good one! Thank you!

The baby-ape, besides on paper has 12" pullback, doesn't seem to have more pullback than the Chrome (9"), insn't it? Moreover Chrome is taller. Am I right?
