Default 8" chumps

Hey all, Im thinking of getting some Biltwell 8" chumps for my o7' superglide and my question is, how well would they handle when going through the twisties? Thanks

the bars relate to handling by the way you fit on the bike. So, it's gonna depend on your position on the bike once the bars are installed.

Yeah but that still does not say whether you will have to reach for the bars or what not. Anyways, the bike will handle the same, the position you end up in will have a bearing on how the bike feels underneath you. I personally feel i have better control of my bike with lower bars.
