Most go with Carlini or Wild 1's, some go with Yaffe, BR. If you go with Carlini, be advised they run about an inch taller than advertised (which Carlini will attest to)

Posting a pic of mine with Wild 1 14"s, because 1) I can , and 2) you can see what they look like.

I also had the Wild 1 14" on my RK. Loved them. If I had it to over again, I would get 16s.

For those of you with the 14" bars, how tall are you?

Don't buy bars until you have the seat you want.
