Thanks Gentlemen

Rauchman, on the bars: I had the WO555's mounted on the OEM 1" risers, at 6'2 with my Sick Saddles seat which moves me back a bit longer rides stretched the lower back a bit.
From grip to grip they are about 2" more narrow than the SF's and angle of wrist is angled back less. I think I'd like them to be about 1" wider but probably just need to get used to this a little more but, I really liked my SF's!
The added height (8" risers on the new ones) brings the bars a little closer, and a little can make a big difference.
For me, it is more comfortable and happy to have put them on

When I got these, I took them to a PC shop and stripped off the mat finish and had them coated gloss black. Looking at your I'm regretting it. The mat finish looks real good.

I shot this minute long video at Shoshone Falls today, the falls are about 3 miles east of the city of Twin Falls, ID.
The Snake River is flowing some water right now, how many times in life do you see a rainbow begin at the base of a waterfall and end about 300 ft away! Anyway, thought some might like to see a bit of what's out west
