Default Changed Handlebars

I finally changed out my "Heritage" bars for a set of "New Heritage" bars. I like them so far. I need to put some miles on them and see how they are.

I also added the cool white grips and a luggage rack.

They are not really taller. They just angle down instead of flipping out. I like the wrist angle better. This photo shows the new bars sitting on top of the old bars.

That is why I love my old buckhorn bars. When I reach out my hands go naturally on the grips. Very comfortable for me although they don't work at all for others.
