Slick,
Could you post some pics with you sitting on the bike with both hands on the handlebars? Also how tall are you? These are the exact bars i'm looking for when I get my RKC. I'm 5'11". I'm told that the Carlini apes aren't exact in measurement. i.e. the 16" apes are more like 18". Is this true? how is the handling? slow driving? highway? etc. I appreciate your help. And BTW.. SAWEET looking Bike!!

Question: can you still mount a windshield? Looks like it would be tight.

Slick..
Awesome! Thanks so much for the pic. This really helps. They look like they would be very comfortable. Yeah I heard they are a bit taller the classified height. Please keep us in the loop (or me) on handling etc. I think you've just sealed the deal for me on these bars. Did you look at the flying apes? what were your thoughts on those?
