I’m picking up my 08 train on Saturday. Going to put a set of MX bars on it. I have an 09 street glide that has 16” bars, but the way these softails sit I feel like 16” would be too tall (and might look obnoxious). I’m 6’2” but most of my height is in my torso (30” inseam pants), so I have to set my bikes up with seats that put me down and back (I already have this seat for the train), and tall bars. 12” or 14” seems to be a better move than 16” on this bike, I don’t have one to sit on as an example so I’m hoping for some opinions and experiences for guys with a similar riding stance.

thanks.

Personally think 16” might be to high, having said that plenty of people ride with 16” apes. If you google Harley softails with Mx bars and click on images at the top of the page you’ll find a few pics with bikes with them on.
