handle bar MOD suggestions needed!
I am looking to buy a Night Rod probably will end up with an '08 '09 or '10. I have test rode all three years and absolutely love them!
My only complaint is how far my upper body leans forward...
I find it very uncomfortable for long rides. I ride 8000 to 10K miles a summer here in WI, and would like to sit more upright.
My old man had an '02 VSRC and it was very comfortable on long rides (upper body was very upright)
What are my handlebar options to sit more upright. I would like a few more inches of pullback and a few more inches of height.
What are my options for handlebar mods?
Thanks! and feel free to direct me to other threads!

Just my thought
Try to find the handle bar your uncle had on his and swap them. Cable length and such may be an issue.
My understanding is that the geometry of the bikes changed very little over the years, so it a be a direct swap if you are lucky.

Does the night rod use the clam shell or self contained raiser? if it's a raiser swaps are easy an cheap that's why I changed to that set up. If not Ghost Rider Customs has v rod handlebars with the tabs for the clam shell.
