I had 14'' bars on my last bike and the only reason I went with those was because my hand would fall asleep. I just need to get my hands up a little more. Thanks for the advice and the opinions.

Thanks sgtwendt. that seat combined with those bars made the bike so much more comfortable. I have zero problems aches or pains when riding at all now.

If you order now you MIGHT get them before next riding season! I have read a lot of negative "long waits" on his parts lately. I have a scoowl of his and I ordered it in September and didnt get it until I think Jan. I really like it but just be ready to be patient.
Good luck
