I want some a little shorter and closer to the rear of the bike. Maybe a 8" up with 8" back design. Just to keep hands down out of the wind some when winter riding and closer to to the rider for comfort of reach. Or has this already been done that anyone has seen?

Good question VETERAN75, I'm looking to do the same. I'm running with a C&C seat which puts me lower and further back compared to stock. I love the seat but find that I have to reach a little too much for the grips. Would like a bar that will go a few inches up and back.

I bought the bike, and then put the stuff on. I bought it in the winter, so it stayed there for about 3 months as I picked stuff to put on. Thank you for the compliment. You nailed what I was going for.

Thanks,
The bars I got from Cateye Custom; Russellville, AR and the pipes are Vanes & Hines Basic slip-on.
