Smile Handle Bars ?

I Don't Like The Handle Bars On The 03 V Rod, Is There Any Different Ones That Can Be Put On There.

I Just Tried Out And Looked At An 06, Nice Bike But Not Very Practable To Ride Like My Softail Heritage Was.
Also The Foot Controls Was So Far Back It Was Very Hard To Shift And Me Leg Kept Hitting The Foot Peg, Any Suggestions ?

Plus The Bike Felt Top Heavy More So Then My Softail Heritage
All Help Will Be Nice From You Fine Brothers & Sisters
Thank You

First off, it sounds like you rode a Street Rod. This model has a higher stance and was built for sportier handling.

You need to look at a model with forward controls.

You can put any bars you want on the bike, just like with any other bike.

I have my bike set up to where I can ride 200-300 miles a day with no problem at all...
