I love my bars, for me (also some back problems) way more comfortable than the originals.

You asked for pics, the first tree are from a French forum. It's the Cross Bones from the 2010 Catalogue photographed at some show in France (I think)

The 2 last ones show you how you sit on the bike with the bars installed. The first one is how my doctor would like me to ride, and the 2nd one is how I usually ride. (These pics were made/posed for me by the mechanics here at the dealership when they installed the bars.)

Hope it helps.

Normally not a big fan of beach bars but they look nice on that crossbones for sure! Plus it sounds like a no brainer. Get a set! LOL

Go for the surgery! I had a disk replaced C5-C6 in my neck. Made a world of difference. Life isnt the same but without a doubt the pain was relieved. Good luck with all that man.
