loosen the clamps and roll the bars back toward the rider. you can loosen the controls and roll them a bit forward for comfort, but the dimples/wiring will only let you go so far.

this wont cost you a cent and looks sharp. i get comments about my bars all the time.

in all honesty they need a bit of bending to make the hands land on the grips perfectly, but once you get used to the angle its no big deal. the seating position is fairly comfortable. best of all, you can take an aggressive stance when you need throw it around a corner.

This is the guy I bought mine from. I went with 32 inch. He does a real good job and I had my bars in ten days.
