Those do look great, how tall are you. I'm 5'6", with a probably 30 inseam. Are they good for the long haul. And one more question, what solo seat do you have there.
Thanks

I used the road king high bars when I changed mine out. They have a bit of a different hand angle than the bars already on it.
I think I would look into the riser cover and a set of risers to change it if I had to do it over again.
The high bars wrist angle bugs me a little and I liked the way the stock bars felt just needed them up and back a bit.

I put 14s on my RK and 12s on my wifes VStar and although I have yet to ride mine ( still have to put on extended brake line), my wife absolutely loves em. I did add longer than needed extensions so should I go longer bars in the future, I can with no added fuss.

I went with wild1 502 12 1/2 inch. I really wanted to go with the 10" apes but needed more pullback. My hands are a few inches below my shoulders, but I still feel like they are too tall. I know that's against popular opinion, but I'm considering another change to something lower. On the other hand, these are way better then the OEM bars.
