Sorry, Another Nighttrain handlebar question
I got the Night Train on order, But I cant decide what bars I want. Im torn between Apes, Pull backs and the street slammers. Im 6ft 1 and want something comfortable not needing to lean too much. im in iraq right now so I cant go to the shops and try them out. Any suggestions and pics would be GREAT. Thanks

I have a bad back and have gotten rid of many bikes because I couldn't ride 100 miles without being uncomfortable. I am 6ft and am very comfortable with the stock bars. You actually aren't that far away from the bars with the seating position. |
More for looks really. I just hear different stories bout people getting back pains

I have had many different bars, from drag bars to apes. My apes are comfortable, Ive riden for 5 hours with them and had no pains anywhere. When i had my drag bars i would get a pain in my shoulder blade area. I think it was from the bars be to short for me. Im 6'1" myself and my apes are 10" with 2" risers.

I have a nice set of black pullbacks I would sell. I had purchased them and then changed my mind on where I was going! LOL they are a little bit wider than the stockers and lean back about 3" (maybe). 1.25" w/flush mount Arlen Ness chrome and poly mounts and the Arlen Ness roller throttle bearing. Nice bars. $150 takes em if ya want em! I'll get some pics to ya if you are interested.

I found that the narrow width of the NT bars was the real cause of my pain. You don't need a lot of pullback to be comfortable at your height. My T-bars only have a few inches pullback but are a about 4 inches wider. Most t-bars can use the stock wires and cables I think, so its a $100-$200 upgrade. Apes mean changing cables so they will run a couple hundred more installed.

I went with apes and have no regrets. Pullbacks would be cheaper but it's not about $$ it's abuout comfort right
