Thanks for the input fellers. While I do agree that they don't compliment the lines of the scooter, they are a far sight more comfortable than the plow handles I switched them out for.

I believe I'll keep them for now, and.......if, I decide to switch them out , I can do it this coming winter. Lord willingAnd yea ! I do need to clean up the garage.👍😂🤣😂🤣. Believe it or not, it's in better shape than times past. The little woman like to collect stuff.😉😁

Some folks like ham can air cleaners too.
I like my ox blood grips.😉

I removed my 10" stock buckhorns and went with 10" apes but needed to lower the 4" pull back risers so the wires reached.
Went with 2" but missed the height so I went with 14's and extended the wires, used solid bushings and it feels way better.




I went from this
To each their own. If it works for you that's all that matters.

To me it looks great and 100% better than those old man buckhorns. I know it will be a total PITA with those bars, but those wires want to go internal, just sayin'.

Your bike enjoy it. High and narrow bars for the win!!!!

I'd take those off immediately, and give them to somebody with a hacked up sporty.
Who looks at a speedo ? 😂

Some will always like it, some always won't. Our opinions don't matter. If you like it then it's perfect for your bike.

I think they look pretty cool, I have a 95 Convertible too, and just like you I removed those shitty buckhorns. I went with a set of mini apes, but I might swap those out for a set of drag bars off a Night Train.

I think if you went with smaller mirrors and internal wires your bars would look a lot better.
