What a difference these bars make! I now sit upright, no more back or shoulder ache. The position of the wrist is quite normal, no issues there for me.
The handling of the bike has improved drastically too. Making tight turns is a pleasure, both at low and high speeds.
Doing 140KMH on the highway is a bit challenging, but that normal without a windshield. At normal speeds, the wind pressure is ok.
One remark though: watch out in city traffic! 36" is wide, and maneuvering between cars could become an adventure...
I'll post some pics this week-end.
As promised some pics of the Beach bars.

Default Bar and cables

Hello, I was wondering what type of bars and cables are those?
