I am 5'9"-5'10" and they are just a little above my shoulders. The cross bones bars were just a little below. It all just depends on what is comfertable for you but my suggestion with your height is I would go with the cross bones. OR they do make the the flying apes in 12" and they run an inch to an inch and a half taller than advertised and that might be the way to go.

As for the engine guard bar it is the black one from Harley

Like Mike said..go with 12". Those Carlini's goes very well. The front pic of his shows how well it flows with the fork width...plus gives a lil beef to go with the Lo also. The xbones imo won't flow well compared. My 2 cents.

What do I think? Where I live they don't let motorcycles in parking garages for the 'safety of the rider'. I think that sucks and is totally bogus... oh... and the bars look like they should have been on the bike in the first place so what took you so long?! <grin>

That's nice!
Where do these front turn signals come from? Are they HD?
I also have the black passing lights, but I'm still not sure what to do with the bar mounted turn signals.
Thanks and ride safe!

That is the same light bar kit that comes on the deluxe and then I had them powder coated. That kit comes with the turn signals so I just cut off the old ones.

Looking really good, Nice Lo. I wish I could ride with Apes but the scar tissue in my left shoulder won't let me raise my arm up very long.
