Default Changing out the bars on my Deluxe. Suggestions?

It's been suggested that I might be happier with some different bars on my Deluxe especially on tight turns.&nbsp\\; Something that will bring my arms in and give me better control.&nbsp\\;Any suggestions?&nbsp\\;Bear in mind that I am 5 foot 2. Thx.

You must feel like your hugging an elephant. Narrower bars would probably be more comfortable and give you more control.

Just my .02, but in that pic you posted in another thread where the view is from the front you look really comfortable to me.

My girlfriend has mini-ape hangers but she is a little taller (5' 6").&nbsp\\; However, you could pull the handlebars in closer which would also lower the bars a bit.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
I tried uploading a picture but the website just gives me an error message.
&nbsp\\;
Good luck.

Do you mind me posting up that pic you posted in the other thread? Hope not? I think you look really comfortable. Is there a reason you feel you arent fitting that?
