What handlebars??
Have a streetbob and just cannot get on with the bars, too uncomfortable for longer distances.
Have searched through the site and got together a few bits of info but would be really grateful if you guys would post what bars you have fitted (pics if poss) and how comfortable you find them.
At the moment I'm leaning towards some Flanders flat track bars but don't want to make a mistake!

RE: What handlebars??
Check out the krome werks sweepers in my sig pic. They look like mini apes but feel like drag bars with a good pull back. Verry comfortable! I actually push them forward cause I like to stretch my arms out forward. But they are still too close to "look cool" enough for me. I don't mind being slightly uncomfortable to get the look I want. Check em' out. If you like them, maybe we can trade!

And no you really don't want to make a mistake especially with Flanders cause they're pricey.I think mine were around $115. If I were you I'd go down to your nearest HD dealer and check out the bars they have on the Nightster I'm pretty sure they're the same thing and probably the same ones they used to put on the XR883.They're probably cheaper at the HD shop but Flanders will give you more options like ordering them in black or chrome or pre "dimpled" or pre drilled for wiring.I got the "dimpled " because I'm not quite up for internal wiring just yet but you may want to try that while you have them apart.

The old buckhorn bars that used to come on most all Harleys are the most comfortable. If you get bars that are too flat the stretch to reach them will kill your back on longer rides. But a lot of people think that stretch looks cool. Don't know why.
