Default About bars

Hi members of the forum, so what are your opinions in bars? stock bars mostly? are they enough for the ride? is it a must to upgrade them? what are your current bars, let's talk!

My opinions in bars get louder and more offensive the longer I'm in there.

My favorite bars is Coach's 1 and Caoches 2. Cold beer, great prices and the owner used to be a DJ so there's always good music.

Outside of Reno I like to hop around from bar to bar to meet the locals.

Here in Wisconsin we love bars of all kinds.


That being said, I love my KST bars and they were a massive improvement over stock in terms of comfort and handling.

I've spent a lot of time in quite a few bars. I usually contemplate how perfect the stock bars are on my Deluxe.

So… You’re a handlebar reseller and a site sponsor, and you ask this question in general chat?

That’s neat

So I’ll join in. My opinion in bars changes proportionally to the amount of beer and tequila I drink. Or martinis, depending on the kind of bar i’m in.
