Thanks for the info. I love the way the bars look on your bike. I am not sure if 16" is what I want to go with (I may want more)so let me ask you a few questions:

1. What is the height from the seat to the hand grips? I realize this will be hard to get exact, but a
close measurement would help me get an idea of the possible riding position.

2. What kind of risers do you have on your bike? How much rise do the risers give you?

3. What is an estimated price tag for the risers, bars, and cables?

Thanks for your help. Hopefully I will make a decision on which bars I want and go ahead and pull the trigger to get this project started.

-I'm 6'2", and have a low seat (from "DemonsCycle" on eBay). The grips are straight out or maybe 1" above my shoulder when in the normal riding position. I'll see if I can get a measurement from seat to grips soon.

-I've got 1.5" tall risers (which are also 1.5" thick in the mounting diameter) - the shortest version of those risers you can get... Click here to check them out. 16" tall bars plus the 1.5" risers equal 17.5" of total rise from the tree.

-As far as price, like I said, Clifford can get you approximately $50 discount from the price stated on the CustomChrome website I mentioned in my post above. I got the risers from Metric Thunder - the cheapest I could find them (see above link). Cables were about $145 through Clifford.

Alright, again let me know if you have any questions.

Here's another photo of my bike (before I lowered it):
