how does the height of your bars feel now. Do your arms rise above your shoulders or are they out straight?

Default 16 inches

HI TOT,
my man has a 2010 road glide and got a **** load of stuff done. He put on Wild one 16 inch Chubbie Bars. I LOVE THEM!! I can sit on his bike I'm only 5"5 and I am completely comfy with them!!
I have an 08 glide but when the 2009 harley davidson parts book came out and there was a picture on the back of the catalog of a CAMANDO GREEN CROSS BONES I FELL IN LOVE!!
I am going to get that bike.. absolutely love it. Waiting to find a place to test ride them.. I've been looking and havent' found a place her in VA.
Good luck with your mods.. man is it a never ending process but so fun and rewarding when it's all said and done!!

Ciao

I have 12.5" Wild 1 Chubby Apes and absolutely love them. Just FWI...mini apes are almost always 10". If you still want info with a picture that explains rise, pullback, width, then go to Wild 1inc.com. Click on the skull to the left that says "dimensions chart "and they actually have a picture of a Cross Bones with lines drawn that gives you a visual of those terms. Pullback is actually the measurement from the risers to the end of the grip...measured toward the rider. (its not a width measurement)

Nice colors on your scoot by the way! Hope this info helps you.

Steve

That there is a fine looking motorcycle. Glad to hear you pushed the bars forward. But there is one thing and I'm surprised no one has said this yet...

When'ya gonna remove the reflectors?

I vote for 12" or 14" black narrow apes - maybe from Burly. I think the slightly lower apes will look better than the 16". IMHO
