Mimo.
At first i almost $hit my pants when i tried to make a tight u-turn...They cought my knee....But now i have no problems making tight u-turns. Just kick the leg and turn. It's almost second nature to me now. As for riding on the road making turns, i have no problems. My bars are actually lower now than in my sig pic.

Roger that, I'll keep it in mind when/and if I decide to switch back to my beach bars, they're packed at the garage Tnx.

width 38.5(burlybrand) compared to 36.5"(wild1)

BurlyBrand also have a better bend to them. Not to mention have you ever looked at OS_Deuxes ride....HOLY $HIT!!! I saw his bike with those bars and my mind was made up..Burly's look when they are pushed down are top notch in style compared to any other beachbar out there. Not to mention they are cheaper in price than Chubby's.

See I want comfort with looks as hard as it is to find. If I was running the stock seat I think this wouldn't be to difficult but the C&C pushes and drops you back a pretty good amount. I love the way the 1.5 inch risers look and plan on going with the smooth cover like you did I'm just afraid that I will buy the 1.5 and still have a lean. Humm maybe a new thread about risers?
