Where do you put your hands when driving? Myself the bottom mostly, just cause I like it. even the top of the streering wheel is not above my shoulders. If this was so great, why don't they make autos like this?

I could maybe use a little more pull back, but after all these years, I dunno
I went with 10" Wild 1's chubby bars , they have about the most pull back of all the ones I looked at , they put my hands almost level to the top of the batwing , vary comfortable for me.

No.
Gloves are for all weather, but the winter weight gloves work especially well for my hands on the bars that are above my fairing. The heated grips help when temps are around 35.

Not sure what your BS post is supposed to infer, so, yeah...Wow
