i wanted to post this in case anyone wants to know, first a big thanks to PW2013STL for the bars, he sent me a set of bars with the plastic covers for just postage, i put them on yesterday evening when i got them, i won't go in to all the details since it has been covered just what i haven't found posted, first the bars are approx. 2" higher and 4 1/2" farther back than stock, wire length and clutch line length is no problem , BUT, when i tried to put the left bar on, the line bolt {banjo bolt} on the clutch master cylinder hit the bar, i had to loosen the clutch master cylinder and turn it down a bit to clear, and had to loosen the line and turn it to clear, its still a tight fit and the cylinder sits actually half way up under the housing so i had to trim off some of the plastic cover to fit, the banjo bolt on the cylinder sits right on top of one of the holes for the cover, so i ended up with 3 bolt holes on the cover, looked fine and worked fine when done, i haven't seen anything about this swap with a 5 speed so i wanted to share this.
Few more details would be helpful please like, were the bars from same year as what replaced?

Thanks - mirrors - hmmmmm bad. and position is like changing a RS into a lazyboy!
yeah mirrors give a good look at your hands, still better than being humped over though,i may try to do something to give them a little more outward turn when i'm bored sometime, or even try to switch sides so they turn down more, if that will even work. if i had a flat seat now that wasn't slanted forward i would be almost as comfortable as my road king.
yours does look flatter, mine pitches you forward a bit i guess to match the crotch rocket style position you're supposed to be in with the stock bars.
