Default New Bars on 04 Low Rider

I have decided to put internal wired bars on my bike, looking for help in sizing. I am 5.9 and want to raise up to 12" or 14" apes but, I want the grips to be kinda flat not pointing down which makes it harder to hold on to.

I’m 5.9 and love the 12 inch apes on my Wide Glide, eventually I’d like to try some 14’s I think that may help to correct my posture a bit. Even with the 12’s I tend to slouch a bit on longer rides.

Hey QR... what size risers do you have? Just go 2 inches taller if, which you should cable play

You’re right risers would be a hell of a lot cheaper wouldn’t they, great idea!

OP go for it, worst case scenario if you don’t like the change go back to what you have now or try something different. That’s all part of the fun
