If your running 18.5 apes....the 12 or 14 inch t bars should be fine.

the bars follow the rake of the fork. I e-mailed em a couple questions to get a better answer on something so I could order the bars(was thinking 12" or 14"). They never responded back... ended up just getting custom risers elsewhere. Only running 8" risers and drags right now. probably gonna put a set of nightrod black bars on the risers.

Mine are 14's & right at my shoulders...not too much pullback so my wrists aren't at a sh**y angle! Best bars I've ever had (I've had 6 sets on this bike), I'm 5'10 if this helps any & my corbin Hollywood sole put down close to an inch!

Just put a set of Street Slammer 1 1/2" bars on my bike today. they have a 6" rise and they seem way better then the mini apes that were on there. I am having a tough time getting the throttle to return and not to sure why. It feels like the grip is sticking. They are kury iso grips. Anyone ever had this happen? Does anyone know a fix? Thanks C
