Dumb question, but have you tried adjusting the bars you have? You should be able to roll them back a bit.
I 5’ 8” with short arms and the 12” Twin Peaks work pretty well for me.
Not a dumb question at all my dude. Yes I looked into it. There is no room. Right now, they are about 1/8th of an inch away from the tank at full tilt. Dealer did excellent job installing them lol
Unless there is some other adjustment I don’t know about, I am pretty much SOL
Another shout out for KST here, I put the 12” Mayhem Baggers on my Street Glide and they are just about perfect. I’m only about 5’9” on a good day and they eliminated my reach issues. I’m not sure what the specs are as far as pull back and sweep but they will answer any questions you have, I called them with a couple questions when I was installing my bars and they were very helpful and NOT douche bags. The only thing that took a little getting used to (for me) was my hands being so far apart, as I had never ridden with apes or mini apes before, but its a very comfortable ride otherwise and I’ve recommended them to several people on here in threads just like this one. Hope this helps !”
This should say that I’m 5-9 tall, not 59. Don’t know why the little inch icon doesn’t show up after I push submit reply, I can see it in my original quote up there ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ as I’m typing this. Weird.
