pullback bars vs how tall are you
Im 5'11" \\;\\\\\\; and I been looking around at the bike night and whatnot, havent seen the bars Im looking for.
 \\;
so I ask here. I'm looking for pullbacks that dont come back to far and dont have to lean to far forward.
now before you say it's personal preferrence, there has to be someone in here thats my size, with these bars. \\;\\\\\\; I'm not really interested in trial and error on picking out bars.

RE: pullback bars vs how tall are you
This is an impossible question to answer. \\; People may be your height but there is much more factors to be considered, like for instance im 6'1" \\; and i use 6.5" pullbacks with standard night train drag bars and they are perfect, on the other hand my buddy also 6'1" leans to much forward on my bike and he don't like them. \\; Good Luck!

RE: pullback bars vs how tall are you
Just to throw a monkey wrench into your idea, I'm only 5' 8" but kouldn't handle the stock mini apes on my Custom. So I pulled them off and put on a set of bars that are about 4 or 5 inches lower with integral risers that come back nearly 14" and I still find myself scooting forward on the seat an inch or two before I'm really comfortable.
Sorry if you don't want to hear it, but bar choice really is something that's uniquely personal.
You might try seeing if you can ask to sit on various bikes to see just what might feel better to you, Good Luck, I fear you may need it.

I'd like to echo what Citoriplus said. I'm a towering 5' 6", and my bars are 9" up, 6" back. They are good for me. My arms are straight, but so is my back, which to me is the main point. Maybe sit, on approval of course, on other bikes to find something that \\;is good for you. Gunner out.

RE: pullback bars vs how tall are you
I did this when I decided to fit mine, first thing I did was to get a tape measure and hold it in between my hands so I knew what width of bars I wanted, then I got to where I would be comfortable and measured around there to where the trees would be, that would be my pullback you can also see what height you want that way. \\; All those measurements except the width will be close approximations but should put you pretty close to the ballpark on what is comfortable for you. \\; Then you just find the style you want, then start seeing if you can get the width, pullback and rise you need. \\; Make sure when you measure to the trees for pullback you are in the riding position with feet on pegs or floorboards or whatever not just sitting on it with your feet on the ground, that will change things quite a bit.
