Default flhtc handlebars

was reading replies on bars, have stock bars shoved as far forward as possible dont like hand position, thinking about kromewerks +2 because of the height, I am almost 6`3 and like the stretch, not sure if these are the best for me. what do you taller people use and suggest? thanks for replies

I'm 6'3" tall also & have the Khrome Werks +2 and these are the best bars by far. Great wrist position. Forum sponsor Warehouse Direct has them and gives us a discount for being forum members. Give them a call, they have the clutch cables also.

Very reasonably priced. You'll only need a clutch cable (about $35 more) and a tranny side cover gasket and since you have duals only one exhaust gasket.
