Default 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!

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.

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.
