I had KST (Mayhem maybe, 14"?) on a bike a few years ago. Liked them pretty well. Would be curious to see those with more of a level shot of how they look from front and rear as opposed the top.

I put some Wild Ones 515's on a 15 road glide for a friend few months ago. He was unsure about changing the stock bars that he thought were "pretty comfortable" and he didn't want to go above the fairing. After riding it for a few days he now says he doesn't know how anyone can stand the stock bars.

I'm with you. I'm not a fan of the stock bars either. When I first got the bike, 5 weeks ago, my upper back was sore and my right wrist and shoulder were bothering me. I've seemed to adjust to it, but I'm researching new bars. I almost bought 15" Harley bars but they seemed too tall upon second look at the pic. I'm 6 foot. Tall but not super tall. Just looking for a little rise. Not way over my head. It's tough not seeing and feeling it in person. The search continues.

Has anyone removed the nub that prevents you from rolling the stock bars forward, and then rolled them forward?

NO but thats not a bad idea. I think the stock bars are about 10 to 11" from riser to top bend.

You can tab that pin down flush, which is what I had to do for my kst bars.
