Specific handlebar question
I'm interested in a bar that will allow the back of the hand to face more towards the outside, more supinated as it were, than the current palms down. I'm having a heck of a time on long distance rides with my wrists and elbows. I'm constantly having to supinate my wrists on a ride every 10 minutes or so. It's becoming a mania.
I'm aware of the new HD Road Glide mini apes, not applicable to my FLHP but it goes along the lines of what I'm looking for. I've searched and haven't come up with much. Any info offered would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

Thanks XARAN, just checked out a couple of pics and I believe the Buckhorns do as you suggested and what I attempted to describe.
Hey folks. Supinate is the opposite of pronate. When you supinate the forearm, you cause the palm to be upwards, visable. When the forearm is pronated, it is in opposite direction. Enjoy your sammiches.

RK beach bars work great for me...
I think they would do you good but the throttle boss may help you out also....
The RK beach bars turn your handles in, like a partial wheelbarrow...
then you can rotate the bar higher or lower....make it too low...cables and bar will hit the tank when turning.
The regular beach bars turn your hands in like holding a straight back wheelbarrow.....
Drag bars will be like holding on to a T-bar with handles 90 degree from front wheel.
Don't know how you can make your wrists turn up....
hope this helps out...
