I am 6' tall.. the factory K9 to me isn't that great of a stance with the factory bars, kind of leaves you in a slouching position with your arms at a little bit of a bend, this set up for me leaves my arms straight, back straight up and speedometer a little higher up so I'm not looking down to read it. It was personal preference for me along with the confidence of not worrying about the typical electrical bs these things go through. Aside from the power and rumble, the bike has the same stance as the fury, which is not good for long trips which I do a lot of. Jmo..
