Pic Request 12" Midget Gimps
 
I was hoping someone on the forum can help me out. I just received my 12" midget gimps from Nash. I really like these bars. However, they don't seem much higher than the stock Street Bob bars. Does anyone have any pics with these bars installed on their Dyna? I did a search but for some reason I cant view the pictures. I was hoping to see what they look like on the bike because I'm thinking of exchanging them for 14's. Ive seen plenty of pics of the 14's on the forum.

Thanks for your help!

all i can say is go big or go home...eventually youll want to go bigger if you stick with the 12's

I hear you bro. i'm just worried i'm not goin to reach. I got a Le Pera bare bones seat, I'm 5'7, and some short arms!

Sorry I can't say for sure how the height compares to stock, but even if they're the same it's still an upgrade style-wise due to the different bend (and I'm assuming the bars are black as well).

Midget gimp were only about an inch higher than stock. But yes, style wise, the gimps are a big improvement.

aren't the stock street bob bars like 10" what year bob you got can you change the risers?

Nightster, I have an 08' SB. I would have to change the top tree in order to change the risers. I believe the stock bars measure 10.25". The gimps are 12" but the way Nash measures their bars it comes out be be only a little higher than the stock bars.

did you put the bars on yet? yet thats wat sux about the 08+ with integrated riseres that was a bad idea on moco part. but yea if your not happy with the way they feel for your riding style then your gonna want to change them.
