Im 6" tall and went with the 17" Santee's on my SG..........Shoulda went with the 19", but what I got will do. Theyre comfortable as hell to say the least.

The photoshoped shot of my ol lady sitting on the bike was taken while I was getting close to finishing out the ape project...Shes 5'2" and it fits her perfectly!!!

16 Chubby bars here, and I wouldn't have gone any smaller. I keep them adjusted to accept the windshield. Windshield is usually just a winter thing, though.

I know this is an old thread but I finally got my Wild 1 Outlawz installed in the 12" version and wanted to re-new this thread. I am 6'1" with a 32" inseam and arm span of 70" tip to tip. I DID NOT have to extend any wires or my brake/clutch line, all I had to do was re-route the clutch line to behind the steering neck instead of in front where Harley routed it, not sure why. Everything works great......it took me and a buddy of mine appr 5 hrs for the install, the hardest part was running all those wires inside the new bars.......BUT we did learn a little trick to make it much easier. Anyway..heres pics of the final install. Whats everyone think......I think they look awesome on a Road Glide.

I'm running 12.5s, but if my radar detector (fairing-mounted) wasnt in the way I'd rather have 14s.

I got 12.5 on mine. Sits slightly forward than the forks. And I also have a Deadcenter fairing on it with no issues.

I actually have 12" Outlawz (Wild 1s) on my bike but you didn't give me that option on the vote. I voted 14.

I'm 5'10" and the height is just below my armpits which is very comfortable for me. Here's a pic.
