Or here is a little better shot

Very nice choice Jeff. I've seen a bike similar to yours also blacked out that had the big front tire too with your bar set up. Really good presence, both ways. Love both looks.

I'm pretty sure your correct hence the 16" bar "riser" combo. This is over all height. I will measure bar height to verify but this is the hight I wanted. I fitted for flying apes but these bars fit me better. Mine are strictly for comfort as I have severe mid back damage. Low bars no go. Flying apes width and pull back was wrong for me. But if I didn't Need something specific Carlini Flying apes are by far the best bar in my opinion.

I was wrong, I will post snap shots its 19 from top of bar to top of trees. 3 inch riser. I ordered the 16" bar riser combo out of Harleys catalog.
