....they're only for monkeys*
* that's what Dr Death says...
What size are you looking at.....I've ridden with them right up to 21"..... you get used to the position.....but..would I have them on a bike I was going to tour long and hard on? Probably not....

Thank you Doris.
Perhaps their ok..
(for monkeys 
).
Just make sure you have sprayed antiperspirant deodorant under your armpits before going for a ride. I don't like them.

Hi, I'm thinking about doing the same thing with my Harley. Looking to change the bars on a 2015 Heritage (with ABS). A couple of folk that I spoke to over the weekend suggested, that if I need to change the brake hose (which I probably would), then I would need to take the bike to the main HD dealer and get the bike "re-flashed". Something to do with having to get the electrics in the ABS fixed to suit.
Has anyone had any issues with this? I would have thought that it was just a matter of fitting a longer hose and then bleeding the system.
