Just curious, with the 12" & 14" bars do your arms get tired? I'm taking a trip July 1st thru 10th. Riding from Ma. out into the badlands and then Montana, Bear tooth Hwy.. To get there in three days we need to do about 725 miles a day.

I was hoping to roll the bars forward a couple of inches and be done. Soooooo you all agree that puts some undue angle at the wrist..

No fatigue at all. More comfortable and less strain actually. Its actually a more natural position for me. Im able to relax more

Even riding 700 plus miles a day? Very cool. Thanks

I don't hate them, but I don't love them either. The dealer had a used one that felt rolled forward a tad, and it felt 110% better; I thought it was my imagination, but apparently not!

Yeah for me they just beg to be rolled forward but concerned about the uncomfortable grip angle comments from a few.

I had them rolled forward for an 1800 mile round trip to California and didnt have any wrist issue. But after awhile I still felt tension in the neck and upper shoulders. So went with a taller bar. Now I havent felt any discomfort.

I rolled them as far forward as I could at first. With the combination of the height and the wrist angle, I had numb hands within 30 minutes. Rolled them back a bit and they've been fine. Like I said, they're only awkward at full-lock at walking speeds.

I guess the gods are finally with me, received mine today. Toke less than 20 working days to get to my house.
I hated the stock bars.
Does the ultra have the same bars as the custom RG?

Me too. But the good news is it should be pretty easy to put them back where they started.
