As far as rotating the bars, I rotated mine back a bit and it helped make my hand position more comfortable. Didn't have much effect on the overall feel of the bike.


How far did you rotate the bars? Do you still have them rotated?



I just realized I didn't do the quote correctly while doing this on my laptop instead of my phone. The first line was meant to be the quote. I tried to find the original post that I was trying to ask about and then realized the handlebars were changed out so the question no longer applies. Every time I go to this forum I end up with 60 other tabs open. I'll this forum figured out...

Did you do this to the stock bars? If yes, did you notice a difference in handling?

In my case, I inverted the original HD mirrors, using an extension piece to avoid the mirrors hit the tank.
