Handlebar Suggestions?
#13
If you like the wrist position, then i suggest the wild 1. i should have gone for the wild 1 but instead i went with the khrome works sweeper +2. it gives you the pull back, i'm not too keen on the wrist angle. angled more like a drag bar. i'm saving money for the wild 1 575. kw sweepers is about 70, but wild 1 is about 250 (give or take). oh the sweeper will work with the stock cables

I would be willing to bet, this forum could do a whole section on just this one question that gets ask over and over
need help with choosing bars ...
I have been on Fat Boys, Wide Glides, EG's and RG's
I have used stock bars, Wild1's 513,575 and 517's
This is a question that has Way too many parts to it.
First off - how tall are you?
what is your Arm reach?
stock seat or someting like a Custom Corbin?
Do you like drag bars - pull back or Apes?
I am 5'6" with a short arm length
My step son is 6'2" and arms like an ape, lol
To really answer this question for someone - they really need to go to some sort of bike showing and look for bars and sit and try them out..
I agree - comfort is the MOST important issue when riding for any distance... If you just do short rides - then most any bar will work - IF you plan to Tour.. It will take some work on your part.
I have riden my EG with the Wild1 575 for some time and they worked pretty good... But I really did not like the wide reach and started to look around..
I found Flanders and now I am set...
If you have a decent arms reach, the I would suggest you find a bike with the 575 on it and give it a try.. I LOVE the look of the chubby bars..
