Just a little update. Bars went on as is without any extras. I installed some poly bushings while in there. Very happy with them so far.

Thank you for showing the pic with you actually on the bike; helps me get a better feel for "where" they end up.

How tall are you? And what is your inseam?

Sure. I am 6'1 to 6'1 and a half.
Inseam is 32"

I was worried I didn't go 16" but these are about perfect.
It is kinda hard to get a true reading without actually sitting on a bike that has what you want installed.

Perfect... I'm 5'9 with a 30" inseam. I'd better stick to the 12-inch.

Man I hope I didn't make a mistake on the 14's. I ordered them a few days ago and they haven't shipped yet. I am 5'10" with 32 inseam. May have to change my order?

I'm one of 2 people our height or taller that opted for 12's. Everyone else seems to have gone 14 and not regretted it. I mainly went 12 due to the visual look of the 14's height past the fairing. I'm not a fan of the look. You'll be fine with the 14's if appearance isn't an issue.

Any chance you've got a picture of you sitting on the bike?

Not at the moment. The bike is at the dealership. If I get there this weekend I'll grab one.
