Can you post some more pics of your bike? from the front and side?
im tryin to figure out a new set of bars for my deluxe.
Im thinkin of possibly havin BR Customs make me a bigger set of window bars- similar to biltwell window bars. I just want them to look "right" with a FL front end...

How tall did you go? are those westcoast mx-tbars? did you have them adjust the angle since they are made for 28 degree front rake?

Ya they really work well on the bike. Almost to much, the bars match the front light bar perfectly. Look real old school. Like 30s old school. The angle is perfect, and no I didn't have wtb change the angle. They are twelve inch rise and almost could be taller. I just got a two up seat that dropped me into a good spot.
yes they are west coast mx bars.
At first everyone didn't like them. Now everyone loves'em.

Default Thrashin supply risers and bar on my 22 Heritage 114

I had 10” thrashing risers with low end bars out on mine. The height is about the same as stock, but the grips are moved in and forward. I really enjoy the increased stiffness and the bike feels more flickable and stable when going through the curves.
