I'm thinking of putting these on my bike, the Street Slammers are just way too low for me, I'm too tall. I love the way the MX bars looks, different than everybody's stanard T-bars. I think the 10" have an 8" riser. Anybody have any input on how they think the 10" Westcoast MX will look on my bike (in black of course)? I do not run any type of fairing, so I have a bit of fear that it may look a bit goofy on the front.
I say go for it man, i was looking at those bars too, but i went with risers and bars for the adjustability. Those bars do look sick, and im pretty sure there are some others on this forum that rock the tbars w/o fairing, and it looks killer. Plus, youre not getting the 14" they might look a bit goofy. You could get the little headlight cowl or whatever its called if you think it looks a bit off, the headlight can seem puny with tall bars and nothing else out front. Standing by for pics!
i think they would look awesome, if your headlight looks a little small just swap it out for a 7" Fatboy headlight. i did that to mine and i love the look of the front end now...those stock headlights are just to small
If you get them, post some pics. I don't think I've seen any mounted up yet. I'm in need of something taller as well, I'm 6'6", but I'm not sure the MX bars would look best on the FatBob.
go back a few days on here, some dude just installed a set of chrome ones on his fxdl and it looked good. I like how all the WC T-Bar stuff looks but I like the adjustability of a bar/riser setup. I'm running 9.5 risers with nightster bars. Total height is 13.5 off the top clamp and I can roll the bars fore or aft to get a little different height or pullback. Looks for all intents and purposes like the MX bar setup but has a little adjustability. The biggest thing is this setup isn't a clean since the wires can't be run internally and hidden so in that case the West Coast stuff takes the win.
I just put a set on my bike a month or so ago and I love them. I think Shiftface was referring to my bike in his message above. Here's a link to that thread with some pics.
Sorry I didn't take any pics without the fairing. In my opinion, the bike looked more balanced with the fairing than without, though to be honest it didn't look bad without. I think that the MX style of the these bars keeps it from looking too tall versus the traditional straight T-bar.
They make a great product and have excellent customer service. Good luck dude!
