At the 12 o'clock all the way....its the only way. When they're pulled back it reminds me of the geek kids that rode their schwinn sting rays with the bars pulled back. Back in my old hood you would get your *** kicked if your word your stingray like that lol. Bike looks great by the way..

I like them bettter foreward bro, but i guess that is more up to you and how you feel more comfortable. im out of the country but plan on putting some 16" chubbies when i get back. how tall are those, they look good.

Haha nice

They are on the bike the way I like them so none of this is changing anything just had to settle the argument with my Dad... he said I had no sense of style I guess he just traditional like Dan said

Following the lines of the forks. It's how mine are.

I'm too old to look "cool" anymore so I positioned mine where they are more comfortable, (pulled back).
