Ape Suggestions
Sorry if there is a thread out there... I am seriously looking at the Road 6 Customs 12" bars, I saw a few pics and they look killer. I also read positive things about them.
If anyone can offer any input on their bars before I buy I would really appreciate.
I think I want 12" because I have short arms, (I am 5'7") and i would rather not have to change out the stock cables.
Thanks again

I just put the 14" r6c on my street Bob. They look awesome. I'm 5'9" with short arms as well and they are really comfy. Changing out cables was a breeze. 1 tip that will save ya time is be sure to sand off the powder coat under throttle grip or you will have no snap back of throttle. It'll save you taking it all back apart. Its pretty simple job. 1 more tip....do the internal wiring. Its easy. Good luck

I have 14" Chubby's with 1" risers on my '11 FXDWG... love them. Had to change everything though.
Last year I rode from Long Island to Fayetteville, round trip... yes, my arms hurt a little, but not nearly as much as I thought they would.
One bit of advice I will tell you though... PIN THEM... mine dropped on me at 75 mph on Sunrise Hwy... thought I was done.

12" r6c's on my sb, and i love them. very comfortable and they look great...i get tons of compliments. one major suggestion i would make is to get some poly bushing to replace the garbage rubber ones in the stock risers. makes a world of difference.
