Default New to me bars

I scored a set of Nightster bars from a forum member.

Got them sanded, primed, and rattle can painted satin black.







Before



After




The difference is very slight. They allow me to sit up a few inches higher and back. They are also wider than the stock 48 bars so i get better leverage. I'm really liking these bars.

Nice.

My wife got the Sotail Slim Hollywood bars for hers. Same kinda thing... Nothing drastic. Just a little wider and a bit more pullback. She likes them a lot!

BTW, did you notice if your hands/ wrists are in a better position?
Bout the only issue I have with the stock bars is I wish my wrists were in a more natural
angle if that makes sense.

The Nightster bars are very comfy. I didn't have any issues with the stock 48 bars and these seem a little better. They are wider.

I didn't need to change any cables or hoses. If you just want to sit up and back alittle more, I suggest doing this.
