Dont forget to consider your seat height. With the badlander seat 14's were good, Corbin hollywood Solo droped me 2" in sadle height, put my hands 3" above Shoulders and uncomfortable on longer rides.. Loved the seat so I went to 12.5 I'm 5'10" 31 inseam if this helps Trotter

Yea it's a good move for the S.B. I also love the drag Bars to...(like Boggie's look) 6" straight risers with the 33"X 1 1/4" Chubby Drags..
