14" Wild Ones on my. 02 Electraglide. I love the feel, 16" would have been too high, I came from 10"

I'm running 18 x 1.5 Buky Bars. I'm 5'11" and they fit me perfect, even with the C&C seat which sits you a bit lower and back a tad.
.... Only thing that looks better than 16's is 18's

How have you been holding up with this loong winter?
Still have those parts on your bike? If so, worked out ok?

Winter sucks! Had the bike out lots recently though, heated gear is awesome!

Love those Kury's, I ordered a new hardware kit for them and they're as good as new. I've actually got the boards off now trying to make the Kury's work with some brackets from Tallboy's Cycles. If I can get it to work, I'll end up with the boards being about 2" lower, 1" out, and 4" forward.

We've still gotta get together one of these days, I owe you dinner!

Thanks again

I like BR's bars a lot I wanted the sweeping beaters but at $400+ (I'm assuming cuz the 18" are 400) $90 to powder coat and $85 plus $20 for bars 20' and over thats $600 bucks for just the bars then I'm 300+ in cables and I have to do all the work my self is a little much for a do it urselfer .... Again not bashing I know any of custom handlebar guys are up there in price for one off bars just stating I can't afford that but if I could I'd buy fo sho!!!
