I am 5'8". Longer in torso with 32 arm. I have the MCC super narrow mod on my seat to give you a sense for my size/ position.
Bars have a wide range of movement. I have not put that many miles on them since I installed them, but immediately more of a comfortable position vs. the stock bars. The stockers were killing my back/ neck. Now I can slouch back a bit and my hands are still below my shoulders.
I am very happy with the bars and looking forward to this riding season to really try them out. I used the stock brake line and a +4 clutch cable. I also used the longer Harley TBW. The green plug does not have much room at all to clear the dimple in these bars.
Also, the bars come with the hole diameter too small to jam all the wires in. I had to open them up with a dremel, heat shrunk the wires and they pulled through in a matter of minutes.
It's my first time posting some photos, I hope they come out ok. Worst case I can send original size to an email account.
