I have a 02 electra glide and was thinking of putting higher bars on, i am 6'1 and have average arm length. The 12.5 looks about right for me but im not for sure yet, is there any brand that is better/ cheaper than another? and is there anybody that sells complete kits? how tall can i go before i have to get cable extensions?
Thanks

I've been looking for quite some time also. Round and around about how high I should go. Personally I don't like the look of the bars way above the fairing. Like 16" or higher. I was leaning towards the 12" bars for awhile, I like the way they look. After doing more reading people always advise to find what you like then go the next step up. After taking some measurements I decided the 14" are right for me. Here's a link to what I'm after. To bad they don't have a forum discount.

Nice, I like the complete kit option that gives you the cost smarts all at once....and you know everythings going to fit! How many out there know what Im talking about........

 

After doing some reading i am reconsidering the 12.5 and thinking of going with 14's but i still cant decide i dont want to go to high and make them uncomfortable plus if there too high i dont want me hands freezing when its cold out, thats the nice thing about the bat wing. Thoughts??

 

+1 on HCC. I've bought 3 sets from them without any probs.

 

Go with the 14's. I put 14's on my 2010 Street Glide and they fit just right. I am 5' 10 and the bars are right at shoulder height. They look good behind the fairing IMO.

 

I am on my second set of Wild 1 Chubbys. Had 12" on my Heritage. I loved them but decided on 14" on the Ultra. Prices are reasonable. The big money comes during installation. I was not comfortable doing it myself. Your hands will be 7" or so above the fairing, but I really dont notice it until I take a grasshopper on the knuckle and get yellow guts up my arm.

Plan on extending your lines for anything over 10" bars.

 

I think im going to go with 13's from hcc, thanks for all the help
