Congrats on the purchase and :welcome: to the forums. You definitely came to the right place. These guys have done nothing but help me out since I joined last year. :thumbup:
I'm 6'1" and I like the Suburban Machinery stainless drop bars for a more stretched out position and the OEM bar ends and the holes for the switches are correct as well. I have an Alaskan Sheepskin pad with a cut to match dense closed cell foam underneath. Looks great, gets me up a little and is more comfortable to boot! I have an '08 as well, great bike
