16" Copper apes from Copper Mike, you'll want taller once you get used to them. At least get 14"

What bike are they going on?
If I was to do it again, I'd probably go with Todd's Cycle Stripper bars. They sell a fat version...

That Crossbones is SICK, rg! That's how it should have looked coming off the line , imo...
BTW, what rear fender did you use for that build, or did you fab it yourself?

Default Bars are not gloss

I can tell you from experience, this kits's bars and risers are (or were) not a match - bars are flat black, risers are gloss. I had a set on my '13 Breakout, and unless things have changed, the finishes don't match. You might be able to see it in the photo album i have of the BO. I was highly disappointed. Have since gone chrome on my '08 Fat Boy.

Shadetree fender, but do your research on them. Thanks, it's the only material possession I truly care about.
