Default 12" x 1" Khrome Werks handlebars (lots of pictures)

12" x 1" Khrome Werks handlebars http://www.khromewerks.com/

I thought I'd post some pictures on my new bars, because nobody apparently measures their bars the same.
These bars are about the same width as stock too. Some Apes are supper wide (not for me).











I'm 6' with a 32" inseam and 34" sleave lenght.
I did roll them back some. I was wanting 10" bars to begin with. To keep my hands behind the fairing.
If I had left them all the way up and forward I could have used the fairing mirrors, but I wanted some pull back so I could lean back.

I sit really straight up (because of a bad back) and that is a 10" windshield for reference.

Very nice, I've been contemplating going with them for some time now instead of the +2 sweepers that I run. What size brake cable did you end up with?

Looks pretty sharp. Ive heard that with 10" bars you might not have to extend the wires or cables. The wiring can be re-routed under radio and should have enough length to do the job. Can you confirm or deny this?

You never see the pics with rider. I would of guessed a rider's arms would be straighter with 12"ers.

That seat looks pretty beefy, is that a stocker?

I looked at my parts sheet and it says: 74" clutch, hyd, line 1741-0309

FYI: The bars also seem to also be the same grip angle as the stockers were.

Sorry, I can neither confirm nor deny.
My shop put them on, asked me to come in and positition the bars, then they ordered cables.

Thanks, that's what I thought too. Nobody ever puts any pictures with real riders on.
It also depends a lot on camera angle. I did the best I could.

My arms would be straighter if I pushed the bars all the way forward....and above the fairing too.

The seat is new an H-D Hamock seat. It does sit a little taller and a little farther back.
I should have taken a picture with a stock Street Glide seat I guess.
