good to know I am not the only one that thinks the stock bars put the wrists at a bad angle. Thought I may have been just a messed up dude for a sec.

When I first got my bike I hated the stock bars so muchI orderred a set of lowrider bars. While I was waiting for them on backorder I loosened the clamp and dropped the longhornsdown about 5 or 10 degrees lower. Now my hands go into the bars with my wrists straight. Liked it so much I cancelled the other bars.

I didnt care for the stock Buckhorns as well. I have Mini-apes over 3.5" straight risers and have found it to be very nice and comfortable. I added poly riser bushings when the bars were changed as well.... bike is very responsive with virtually no mush.

I like your idea of a Mini-ape with no pullback bend .... think it would be a different look that's not seen .... and would probably be comfortable if you likea riding position with a little lean.

I did the exact same thing with the same results.

mcurry5,

You might wanna give the ones here that I have a thought as well, plus has a great mount for the tach as well, and they are fatter than stock so you can runs the wires internally for a clean look.
