Default Anyone know the terminology for these handlebars?

I’m looking to get these handle bars with a 16” height. There are a ton advertised with the middle bent AWAY from the rider, I’m looking for the ones that bend in TOWARDS the rider. Like in this photo. If you find one, please provide the link if you can. I’m just having no luck.

If you don't need the hard tips at the top check out Carlini 's bars. They have options for bars that bend towards the rider.

that said, with a fat front end like that, personally I would look at Burleigh Bars, the 2" High Ball.

is there a reason that you couldn't just turn them around? i don't think bars care which way they go, do they?

Terminology?

You sure you want to aim the bars towards yer neck/head/face? Just thinking what happens in a head-on. Then again, it probably wouldn't matter at that point.

… because then the grips would be facing away from the rider. Most Apes still angle in at the grips towards the rider. They usually are not straight out to the sides.
