Default Bars

Hello everyone
Is there much of a difference between the stock 48 2010 bars and the bitwell trackers? I dont like the look of the stock bars and want a drag bar look but am only 5'6 and the zero drag bars I have are not very comfortable.

It is quite different. The rise is less so the bars are lower and the pullback is less so the grips will sit further away from you (on the trackers). What are you using the bike for?

I had the Trackers for a while. While I liked the low rise, the fairly short pullback was too far forward, at least for me. I ended up changing them for a bar with a bit more rise and about 2" more pull-back.

I have drag bars on there now . I am trying to find a set of these

http://lonerindustries.com/2-inch-fo...ht-risers.html

which will raise the drag bars and pull them back a bit. I don't mind giving up some comfort for aesthetics. The way it is now though is just too far forward. So I thought keep the drag bars and put on the risers or maybe get the tracker bars since they look almost like drags.

I just ride the bike around town. No long distance.
