Ya, they're really nice bars. I may end up going taller now that I have this Danny Gray seat. Moved me back about 2" it seems. Hard to justify the expense of extending everything now though...

Well that sucks. I could have run my 16's with factory lines on my SG, but I wanted black fittings, so I changed lines. You sure factory lines on the RG can't be rerouted to free up a few inches? For the longest time on this forum, there was "no way" factory lines would reach higher than 12" bars on the SG's. Until I rerouted mine and reached 16's.

Idk about 16's, I've read that the max is like 14, it depends on the style of bars.

Ya, I don't see freeing up another couple of inches. I looked around and didn't see how to make more room.

I installed Wild One bars on my 15 SGS, ran the wires inside the bars and had no throttle response.
I thought about it and figured I had assemble the wires in the plug backwards. Took it apart and switch the wires and reassembled. Fixed my problem with no throttle.
