Reason I know is that I liked the same picture and decided to "borrow" a bit of GliderXXX's idea's for my own bike and ordered a set of those yesterday.
Glad I'm not the only one.... thanks for the info

So you guys that did the 10s did you spring for the for the ssk? I hear you don't have to have it but sometimes things are tight and don't look good.

How does the width and pullback compare to stock. I think the height will be perfect but I don't want to lean forward more than I do now. I'm 5'10" and have a C&C seat tha sits me down and back a bit.

I get a little pain in my upper back with the stock bars on a long ride. I am wondering if some of you experienced that and if these helped.

I know I like the look just curious about som of the other things.

So does anyone have 10"ers in stock? Or am I going to have to wait? And after everyone did the install, was their clutch still an easy pull? I changed my bars to sweepers and the clutch sucks now... Feels like the clutch pull on my old softail.

I don't think it's a crazy question at all. Some dealers have a display where they can alter the height of the seat and let you try out various handlebars. You might not be able to put PYO's into the mix, but you might be able to try something similar. Call around and see if a dealer in your area has a setup like that.

My local dealer is working on something like that right now. I asked the GM the same question you just asked and he told me their display should be up in a week or so.
