what is the rise and pull back on those as compared to a stock set. Those are bad ass by the way!

I don't know what the pull back is (assuming you're referring to the angle of the grip part...I would guess about 22*) but they're just a tad over 12" tall. Looks like just the right amount. No new cables and the grips are at a better angle.

I think Nubbs wants to know the distance vertically and horizontally from the clamps to the grips.
After a long ride yesterday I found out a few things
The bars are about a inch to tall for my tastes and need about 2* more turn in at the grips
I cant lower the bars any more because they hit the dash just barely now so I will need to give them just a little more angle on the risers or vertical bars
and Im going to look for different grips I dont like the ISO'S
The stock bars seam to have about 12" of pull back and 7" of rise
My bars are about 12 and 12
The big difference is the amount of turn in at the grips or the angle of the bars at the grips in relation to the clamps
The factory bars are around 50*
Mine are 20*
50 is to much and 20 isnt enough so the next pair will have a little more. There isn't anything really wrong with the bars but sense I can build my own bars I will just keep after it till I get what i want. These will be up for sell soon

I have no idea how long this will take.
Right now im trying to figure out how to mount all the pieces.
I want to be able to mount the inner faring first so I can get to the back side of the dash(like a batwing). I have it mostly figured out, But it is definitely slowing me down.

Nice work, I'd take one like that if they would be available ready to paint!
Can't wait to see it all color matched to the ride...

Nice Work!! But how much is that thing going to weigh? You'll have to install HD front fork springs.
