Do people realize that handle bars measured from the seat up to 15" is very low handle bars. With the way the saddle is shaped you are around 8-10" on a stock R*. That would legally only allow you a mini ape type bar to remain legal. 100% of the ape hanger bars I have seen on R*'s or any other bike for that matter would be considered illegal by definition of the law. And that handle bar height is common with most states.

...Looks like California allows your hands up to 6" ABOVE shoulder height! Yessssss!!! I thought it was 'even with or lower than' -- wow there's ONE good thing for California!

Because the Big Gubmint and our Dear Leader knows what's better for you than you do, comrade! Sign on the dotted line, fall in line and be a Good Citizen!

Pffft...right...

Looks like New Mexico doesn't really give a rat's ass WHAT we do to our bikes. Cool. I still think I wanna move back to Texas or somewhere down South again...
