Anyone else have an issue with pullback angle?
I ordered a set of custom street low bars form j&p cycles. the measurements are pretty much the same other than the pullback angle which is way to sharp on stock bars. It kills my wrists after riding. anybody else have this issue?

Are you complaining about the stock bars or the new bars?
Your saying the new bars have less pull-back and that's killing your wrists?

On my Glide in particular I found rotating the bars a little at a time improved the angle no end and I eventually got an excellent riding angle. Just cost me some time and effort! It's well worth trying adjustments before changing bars.

My wrists also get sore from the weight I put on my stock 48 bars. They have like a 4 inch rise and an 8 inch pullback. I've tried relaxing my grip and changing the angle of the bars. It helped but being hunched over the stock bars is the problem I think. I've been looking at micro apes from zombie performance. I'll go to an 8 inch rise and the width and pullback will stay about the same. I think if I sit up straighter and raise my hands I'll be more comfortable.

My last bike had wide sweeping beach bars which caused me to hunch over to the grips, I replaced them with 10inch mini apes that forced me to sit up straight and it was a vast improvement. On my current bike I only dislike the pullback angle, the rise and width are ok for now. The bars I ordered are a little wider and have less pullback angle. I hate waiting on ordered goodies.
