Evening all,

Fancying some new handlebars but not sure what option to go for, I'm 6ft 3 and have quite long arms. I love the drag bar look but not seen any really to have a look so show me what you all have

Thanks
Sam

I am using the stock bars off of a Cross Roads,. I need to tweak them a bit but they are working just fine. They are somewhere between the mini apes and stock bars and the height feels good when riding. (I'm 6'1") Once I get them coated to match the bike they will look almost stock.

There was a set from FMB that I wanted but I have not seen any pictures of them that made me sure they would work for me.

Sit on a Highball and see how you like the mini apes.
They stand moderately tall on a steel frame bike, and are very adjustable forward and back.

Got any more pics from different angles? With you on the bike? I am trying to figure out how tall to go. Leaning toward 12 to 14 inches but these are shorter. I wanna see what the reach looks like. Looking for bars for my 2013 Vegas 8Ball.

I have Ness Fly bars. I am 5"11 and find them super comfortable with much less vibration.

Is that a drag specialties seat?

Is that a drag specialties seat?

Yes it is. Waaay more comfortable than the oem seat. If I could only keep one mod I've done on the bike it would probably be the seat.

I had the other seat that they make, but it pushed me too far forward. Does that one push you forward at all?

Yeah, look at the difference at the curvature of the back. I think that the one you have would work for me. I loaded both pics cuz I wanted to see them side by side.

Doesn't push me forward it is raised at the front slightly, which makes me feel like im sitting in and back. Nice look bike by the way man looks killer

Has anyone here installed Highball Apes on their Vegas 8 ball? I have a 2013 and just bought the kit with cables and hoses.

Is that the wide touring seat you have?

Pictured there is the drag specialties solo smooth seat. The quality is remarkable. Easily the highest quality seat I've encountered. But I didn't care for the riding position it put me in.

I can tell the back of that seat would push me up too far as well, but I bet it's pretty good support.

Bike looks great. Except the seat looks a bit weird.
