I’m a big fan of Wild 1 pullback drags Great wrist angle and very sturdy. I’m just used to that straight style of bar going back to dirt bikes, my quad, jet ski, snowmobile and other bikes I’ve owned.

Yea, but it lowered them also and messed with the lines of the bike.

That’s neat

So I’ll join in. My opinion in bars changes proportionally to the amount of beer and tequila I drink. Or martinis, depending on the kind of bar i’m in.
Hi friend, we just really wanted to know y'all opinion, what you guys think it's better, but if remain any doubts about the motive of this question, we are newbies here in the hdforums and we want to meet the members, interact. another point, our company only sells handlebars we fabricate.

in an addicinal note, my opinions on the bar I'm in also changes depending how strong that vodka hits

To get proper bars for you, on your bike, it takes help. Sit on your bike, close your eyes, and hold your fists straight out in front of you, shoulder width to slightly wider apart, at which time your help measures height from clamps, and then, taking a broomstick, holds it just touching your inner knuckles, and then measuring how far back your littl finger knuckles are from the stick, and how far apart the outsides of your hands are. Once done,you know height, width, and pullback that you need to be comfortable on your bike.

Sent it to Mean City Cycles, had it lowered, and better back support, very comfortable.

I don’t know what kind of bars these are because they came with the bike. They’re very different than the 14” apes from my previous RK, but the rising position is growing on me. I think I need to rotate them forward a bit because the bar ends hit me in the knees at full lock, and I forget to kick my knee out slightly in the turn.

My opinion on bars is that you need them, because a steering wheel on a motorcycle looks really stupid.
