well, after putting a good bit of miles on my 13's....yes, owensmech, 16's would be much better. I'm 6'3" and they are a bit low for me. i could use another few inches up to make my arms level. i still like them, but i will change them out in the future, i'm pretty sure. main reason i went with these though is because i didn't have to change any of the cables out.
I'm getting ready to put on the Khrome Werks 14" Bagger Apes to replace the Khrome Werks Sweeper 2+2 which are nice but just a inch or so to far back and an inch or so to low for me.
From what I've read and been told the 14s should work with stock clutch and brake but I will be adding a wiring extention which at $30 bucks isn't bad.

Hey Don, are those the narrow sweepers or the wide ones? How tall are you? I'm thinking of getting the narrow sweepers.

I finished installing my 10" Khrome Werks 1 1/4" Bagger Bobber Apes last night. They are taller than most 10" bars I've seen. Installation was straightforward and only took me about 4 hours total...not bad for my first bar install. I extended the switch wiring but the clutch and brake cables worked after a bit of re-routing. I deleted the fairing mirrors and went with bar mount mirrors. Took it for a spin today and they feel great...my biggest issue with the stock bars was wrist angle. My hands would fall asleep on longer rides. Hopefully I'll be able to do a longer ride to test the bars this weekend but so far they feel great.

They look sweet. So I'm waiting on the same bars except 14" .. would you think there's enough brake / clutch cable if re-routed to use on the 14s ? I plan on extending the wires already but not sure if I need to for the clutch / brake lines ?
thanks
Don

I like those! Those look good man. A lot of people have similar styled bars, but I've never even seen a set that sweep outwards, then sweep down like that. They look sharp.
