18" Wild 1's
With a one piece top bar clamp good bars will not move. I always replace the stock
riser bushings with harder aftermarket ones. I'm 6' 4" with a low profile seat, seems to work for me.
I just installed a 14" Winvest windshield that fits between the bars, I'll post pics when I get around to it.

In Illinois bars over your shoulders are illegal. Saw an article about a cycle wreck and they ticketed the guy for illegal bars. Had never heard of that and looked it up and sure enough it's Ill. law. Now that we have more motorcylce cops they are probably watching this closer than before.
