Hey msh134, do they give you a better control feeling, like when doing u turns and are you more comfortable in the saddle? Thinking about them for my limited ( same color as yours) and nice bike !!!
Looks good, am thinking about 10" bars as well. Can you post a shot from the side showing the height of the bars in relation to the fairing? I really want 12" but am worried it will raise my hands too high above the fairing.

Thanks wojo
today will be the day I am going to put some miles on her but she felt awesome on ride home I have always put heritage bars on my bikes and these are really close to feeling the same. I dont think the 12's would work for me I saw them and way to high for my liking. control is sooooo much better than stock I used to get stuck on tight right hand turns at times. I dont have a full side pic but this one shows the bars height I will post a side view this weekend
These look good! I bought the Khromewerks Sweepers and they're still too far away.... If you could, measure the distance from where your stripe ends on the fairing to the back of the grips. That will REALLY help me see if they'll be better.
Did you need any cable/hose extensions for these?
Do you think they could be rotated back any more than you have them without hitting the tank on a full turn of the bars?
So many questions..... sorry......
Thanks!

Captain, here are some pictures of them on my SGS. These are as far back as you can put them without hitting the tank when turned far right and left. You will need extensions for the controls. The brake and hydraulic lines are ok, you just need to clip where they are tied up under the fairing. I recommend the 12" extensions from Namz. I went with 4" extensions originally and they will work, but you need to disconnect them before tilting the fairing forward. I found out the hard way when I pulled some wires out of one of the connectors. No issues at all with the 12" extensions.
