But don't the 518's have quite a bit of pull back? I'm trying to get away from that.

518's are pretty sweet. \\; Whiskers let me sit on his beautiful ride and the bars are quite comfortable. \\;
But, pullback is all up to the individual rider (ht, seat, etc.). \\; Go to Wild 1s site for the dimensions of various bars.

I've got 36" knuckle/buffalo bars on mine. \\; 7" of pullback, 4" rise. \\; I think thy were Cyclesmith? \\; I bought them used, can remember, but love them.

Definitely puts you forward in a more aggressive position. \\; Very comfortable for me. \\; I'm 6'1" .
Here's anther angle.
Good luck...

Looked at some SE RK bars and decided the wouldn't let the grips go low as I wanted. Thanks for all the help guys. Still undecided.
