and by the way - Do not search google for "Slammer Drag Bars" - some things cannot be unseen.

rob i,m not sure if your intending to go with internal wiring. But it might be worth "testing" any bars you fit with the wires external for a while to be sure they are right for you. Its a lot quicker to fit and it takes away the pain of a "wrong" choice of bars.

IMHO the lower ones look better. I'm not sure what the rise is on mine but they're very comfortable!

Nevil hows the comfort/feel with your bars?

I find them very comfortable and easy fro me to get used to, although I wouldn't mind them even lower. In the past I've always changed my bars a few times, but with internal wiring it's not as tempting. I'm 5'10" and my riding is in shorter trips, maybe no more than 100 miles at a time.

I'm running HD street slammers and they have 7" rise. I think there perfect for me(5'10). I ran all my wire inside the bars and didn't have to extend any of them. The only thing I had to do was get the signal extensions, that moved the signals over about a 1". But I don't think you have to worry about that.
