Default Looking For Handle Bar Recommendations

I'm 5'11.... added RC component full exhaust, I like it but its not loud enough for me, screaming eagle tuner and new filter.... changed seat...


This summer I want to go 12 to 14 on the handle bars and change the rear fender with extended bags

Well not much to go on but I have 12" KST Mayhem bars, I think they're by far the best looking bars.. but depends what your going for.

Welcome to the forums!!!!

Hehe (hate when I see that...)

Lots of different bar choices out there. Also lots of people here asking that same thing. So the search box is definitely your friend in that case. Lots of people say to either sit on a similar bike with bars and judge to tall / short and, you know it will happen, add 2" to your pick. Most complain that they should of went taller. I did 14" (5'9") and I am fine. Good luck and need help - look here.

My $ 0.02 o course....

I definitely recommend using handlebars.
Not sure why you need 14 of them, but whatever.

I love my Wild-1 Chubby 12" mini-apes. They are 1 1/4" diameter. Im 6 foot and have them pushed as far forward as I can without rubbing the windshield and they feel great. I bet you would like them.

My recommendation would be to go to bike nights/ bike hangouts. Find a style you like, talk to owners. Don't rush, you will be happy in the long run.

Ape hangers for sure, at any height. There's not enough bikes out there with them.

I have had good results with Carlini. They seem to be high quality and have very fine finishes. This is my third bike to use them on. They have been helpful and quick to ship each time. They make a number of styles. Might could get some ideas from the website.
