How do these 13" cycle smiths effect wind across hands, any bad effects with this setup. My back gets sore sooner than it should with my factory bars. Im 6'-1" Thanks for the info guys.

Ya your hands are a little exposed but the trade off is well worth it. I can ride now without neck and back pain. On those cold days (and Iv'e already had my share this season) I wear gauntlet glove with liners.

I am 5'9" and sometimes wish I went with 18s rather than the 16s on my RK. If your are that tall, get the 18s.

Here ya go. They look good without the fairing as well...Still wish I did the 18" Carlini Gangsters for less pull back...these have a 12" pull back wich is too much...

Just saw a new thread regarding monkey bars so I figured I would save the dude trouble and bump this one back to the top...

I'm 6ft tall. Here are my 16' Gorilla 1.5 bars. Very comfortable. I've gone 600 in one day with no trouble what so ever.
