Handlebar Suggestions (Read 12 times)

hellstorm Ex Member	Handlebar Suggestions 03/25/05 at 10:28:17 I love the look of gitarzans Chubby T-Bars, but I was also thinking about pullback risers with a dragbar. The stock bars are just too cramped for me. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Brian

I changed over to clubman style bars that I got at Dennis Kirk. They are 31 inches overall and have a 2 1/2 inch rise so I could use the stock risers. Really like them so far, plenty of room for my gorilla length arms and the grips are in a more natural position. Grin

Didn't like the stock buckhorns handle bars at all. I was looking at the drag bar style but didn't want to buy new risers, on a budget. Must of spent hours checking out the pictures on this site before deciding what style to use. Ride Safe, Ed L.

That's a good idea.

(And if they're Craftsman, you can get them replaced if they ever break. Wink

Even a couple of inches helps a bunch.
