Handlebars
I've put several hundred miles on with the new bars...they work well for me. They don't lower much vs stock, maybe 1/4" but do put you forward 2". I tried making all the adjustments but can't get them lower because of contact with the clutch and brake. They give me a little more agressive riding position which was what I was looking for, I put most of my miles on the Blueridge Parway and roads off it. I feel like I'm getting better feedback from the front as some weight is shifted to the front. Overall, I'm happy with them, they may not be enough for someone who is taller or with longer arms. Suburban Machinery has asked for more pics so I'm not sure if they are going to try another revision, if so I'll update. Hopefully these pics will help, just imagine the stocks being 1.5" lower which puts them about the 1/4" higher than my new ones.
