Thank you Icebreaker. I deal in facts, and figures so I understand if others don't. I appreciate the idea and input.

The cheaper fix is to go on a Diet.... but not the easy fix..lol I have planned to do the exact same thing. A $100 to ad the two inches seams like the guy bent you over. What was it to have it rechromed?

A guy on here makes a little kit to move the 08 and older bar back three inches. I had one on my RKC and it worked great.

Well... it's the price you pay for being above average height! I thought the $100 bucks was a bargain for the good quality welding job. Now the re-chroming was expensive and I forget the exact price but it was close to $200. In hindsight I may have just had it powder coated.. but hey it turned out great and is one of my favorite modifications.
