Default RE: Recommend some bars...
I have the same problem.... I'm 5'7" and just got an 07 RG. I find that I'm having to lean forward or at least STRAIGHT ARM it. I found a very nice set of Burly Knuckle Bars (11/4")that are 2" wider, about the same height and like 5" more pullback. They look nice and seem like they may do the trick....but the question I have is:
Any of you that have done a mod like this....have you ever done any bending of the stock brake lines to re-shape them? I haven't done this mod yet...only because it looks like the brake line will probably be an issue. It seems easy enough to flex and bend (a little), but I wondered if anyone has done this with any success?

Decided on the Kromeworks bars (price)

Now, anyone have a part number for the 3" over clutch cable. Can't even find it on HD's website....
