I purchased the Paul Yaffee 14 inch bagger bars. I first ordered the 12 inch but my mechanic after seeing them on the bike suggested I go with the 14s to push me back further. Thanks to my mechanic these are working perfectly. Much easier to steer and so much more comfortable. One of my best purchases.
I installed 11" bagger bars on my 2011 Tri- Glide. With the original bars I felt like I was bent forward and reaching down, for me the 11" bars were more comfortable. It might depend on how tall you are and what kind of reach you have.
hey larry
I think you are right on!!
guess that's the hard part as bars are not cheap I would like my rig to have the bars up a couple inches and back about 1"-2",,, just don't want to commit until I'm sure - the 2 up 2 back will probably be what I go to on my sidecar rig...

Just got back from ~250 miles and seriously considering different bars.. I'm 6'1" with longish arms, but once we got home, I could definitely feel some ache in the shoulders. Probably it's just a matter of the muscles getting used to the position, so will probably revisit the decision at the 5k mark (just at 1200 miles on it so far)..

These are Paul Yaffe 12" Classic Bagger Bars. I had stock bars on my 2009 Electra Glide, then had a Motor Trike installed. With the rake kit I was leaning down to reach the handle bars, the rake kit it seemed, lowered the handle bars. My back was killing me, got on the internet and started researching bagger bars.
The bagger bars come just to the top of the faring, my hands catch more bugs now but my back doesn't hurt. With my hands on the bars my hands are about chest high, very comfortable.
I hope these photos help in your decision.
