Breakout Reach Issues

Thanks guys, glad you like these risers. They were fairly priced considering that they were truly custom made, CNC Machined (not casted) from billet aluminium than mirror polished and chrome plated. I asked for a 1" increase which honestly is enough for me, cables aren't stretched at all, visually the handlebar has a good balance (not too tall) and the slotted pattern matches other slotted parts on my bike.
I'm pretty sure Simone, the technical responsible of Tecnicad Bike Division, could machine for you these risers in different lenght or finish to match your ride.
These have been a great improvement in terms of comfort even if they're only 1" longer, pretty happy of the final result so far.

The reach isn't my problem...although I'd like a taller riser...but it's the "beach bar" style width that sucks. It kills my left shoulder. I'd like the bars about 4" shorter on each end.

There are other bars out there. Do some research and you will probably find a narrower bar that fits your liking.

Probably 4" on each side would be a little too much but I'd appreciate a slightly shorter dragbar too. What I guess could be a good compromise is the Fat Bob dragbar which should have the same diameter (1,25") and a bit shorter... Just a possible option...

Oh I've found them alright but not having a lot of "new bike knowledge and skills", I'd have to have the shop switch them and I've had an estimate. But being newly forced into retirement, that kind of killed that.

yeah it looks like one of those not so fun jobs but if just going to shorter drag bar you would probably not need to change much as far as lengthening wires, cables or hoses. So you could maybe handle the job and save the $

Breakouts are sweet. Had a couple rides on them but i found the stock beach/drag bars wide and awkward. took away from the sporty feel imo. I can see a set of narrower bars feeling better on that model.

So i have a machine shop here, and I'll be making my own risers. I was thinking about making 15-20 sets and finishing them then popping them up on ebay for sale. Make it easy for everyone that is looking for them. I want to gauge everyone's interest first and see if it's worth it though.
