Default Long adjustable Highway mounts
I just bought a set of long adjustable Highway mounts for my ultra. I'm 6' 1" and I'm trying to see what the best position to mount them may be. Does anyone have pics or recommendations? Did I get the right mount for my height?

I had better luck with the SHORT adjustable mounts. Take a ride, bring a wrench, adjust, repeat.
