Find them more comfortable than the standard ones? did you fit them for comfort or looks, any regrets, happy with them, appreciate some feedback as I am looking to ft them to my Rocker, thanks
I liked the stock width so had my BR bars made to the same width.
(28" ring finger to ring finger)
I sit upright now instead of reaching forward for the bars.
I was going for comfort and a different look than everyone else had for my bars.
Since you are changing your riding position, it takes a few miles after the change to adjust. Then it seemed natural and more comfortable for me.
Opinions vary greatly on this topic. Some guys love them while others hate them. Me, personaly..... I love them. Try it. If you like it, you will never go back to standard bars. I think they are alot more compfortable. I don't take to many long trips, ( usualy ride about 3 or 4 hours), So I can't testify on that, but I'm sure others can.
I went with more for looks having drags on bikes just wanted to change it up.. I have them cocked forward so I have to stretch a bit.. They are comfortable im still getting used to them but overall i wouldnt go back to drags..
I have the regular bars on my Rocker, but HD has an ape and a straight bar that bolt on to the Rocker. Only 1 size though, looked ok. I saw it in one of the catalogs they gave me. The convenience of bolting it right on makes it interesting.
