Pull back is uncomfortable for lot's of folks. Seems to be common with cruiser bars and scooters. If you put your hands out in front of your at that their natural wrist angle, you'd find that dirt bike bars would fit right in your hands at that angle. Lot of sportbikes would, too. I put dirtbike bars on several of my road bikes in earlier decades for that reason. It actually surprises me that the stock bars on both my sportsters are that natural angle, too, few Harleys are. Already picked up another sportster bar for my Tour Glide, it has too much angle to be comfortable for me. Could be wrists over 70 years old, too.

I've ridden some 40's & 50's bikes that had bars that curved straight back, and even in my 20's those were hard on my wrists, you really have to twist your hand around to hold them. Also saw a Harley with those bars doing the driverless thing long before Tesla; hot day and when the guy goosed it, couldn't hang on the sweaty grips, landed on his *** right beside me. That old Harley had good balance, idled along till it finally wandered off the road into a ditch. Bike didn't get a scratch, we had a good laugh over that one.

 

Would love to. Along with 3" riser. I don't think it looks right with the 4.3 gallon tank though... needs the smaller tank to pull it off.

biltwell moto-
