Actually I am leaning a little forward when I ride, but relaxed. I have the MBB shoved as far forward as possible, long arms need that. I'm fine with the 10". Definitely didn't want above the fairing look.
being 6' and wanting apes, i didnt know what height i would be comfortable with. then i sat on a bike like mine with 14's and i smiled immediately. im installing them now and the wait for spring is tougher than usual to say the least. 2003 flhti if your interested. will post pics soon.
