Default Bagger Apes Please help me decide!!!!!!!!!

I've been thinking about this for 2 years now. After my 4800 mile trip out west this past summer I need the comfort. I'm 6'1 I'd say average arm length, I'm not wanting to go much if any above the fairing. Thinking Wild-1 578's 10", Santee 11" or KST Kustoms 6 bend bars in a 10 or 11"last time I talked to Kst they'd make any rise I wanted. Thanks. Oh and I've looked at thread after thread and just can't decide.

Doesn't matter really which one you choose. They're all better than stock. You'll wonder why you waited so long!!!

I just ordered a set of KST 10 3/4 mayhem bars and will have them Monday, really anxious to get them. One of the selling points for me was Brett offering to exchange them with no issues if I decided I wanted something different

I had WO575s on my bike and wanted to go higher but didn't want to spend a lot. I ended up with the santee 11". The quality and finish is just as good for half the price regardless of what people tell you. I love the bars. They sit right at the top of the fairing. I'm 5'11" with a 30 inch inseam, so I'm mostly torso.

I'm 6'1 and my Wild1 576 14" are absolutely perfect on my Electra Glide. In the process of buying another bagger and this will be my first upgrade without question.

I have not installed them yet but I got the 14 KST Mayhems from eastern performance.
Brent is a good guy to deal with for sure he will call you to answer all your questions
With that said I currently have the HD batwing bars on my street glide they are right at the top of the fairing they are nice I just wanted to go higher.
I will be posting them for sale soon within a couple weeks.
