Default Klock Work Mentele Bars

Looking at the Mentele Bars and the King Mentele Bars. Anyone here tried either? I like the look of the Beach Bars and want the pull back provided but do not want the total wheel barrel effect. Mentele bars stated at 11.5 pull back and King Mentele pull back not listed at site. Any information concerning these bars would be appreciated.

Default klock work bars

The wrist angle is very uncomfortable on these bars. I switched to the 575 wild ones and love them.

Those bars look great on your bike. I am looking at putting them on a roadking. My question is that on several sites I have seen different numbers for the amount of rise and pull back. I am looking for alittle more pull back then my stock bars give me which is listed at 11 inches. Werks also have a King Mentele bar but does not list the demensions at all.

thanks for the pics

KJToys,
Do you have any pics of your steetglide with the Klock Werks bars on it? You said the wrist position was bad, can you tell me if there were more pull back then your standard bars?

thanks

Default 08 sg

Anybody found a good fix for about 2 more inches of reach on a 08 SG? I have a Sundowner seat,and like it but I get a real pain between my shoulder blades and in my neck during a long ride. Everything I've seen seems to block the fairing mirrors. Help!!!

HD Dealer told me that the new HD stuff is going to be unveiled in about 2 months. This could include lots of new bars. I'm also in the market for new bars, but will wait for the new stuff to drop. Good luck with your search for the perfect bars.
