The Perfect Handlebars

[tripple3]

I would like to add, I really like being a little different. If a person has the original bars, or replacement correct bars that great. Take them off, put them away, and put on the cool bars for cruising and comfort.

I like different bars; I ride upright; wider is better; Bars are for hanging accessories on.

I prefer straight pull bars. Luckily several of my bikes came originally equipped with them.

Straight pull bars place the least amount of strain on your wrists. If you have wrist problems, as I do, you'll need them. The most relaxed position of your wrists are in the handshake position with as little bend as possible in your wrist. Other types of bars cause the bones in your arm to cross each other resulting in extra stress on the wrist.

I was always a wide guy until I discovered these. I'm old so these permit me to sit more upright.

30x12 SB bars are my preference - because I’m tall and the grips hit the front seat spring before the truss rods smash the tank.

In this riders case... hanging accessories is exactly where he's at. I am of the opinion that when riding, he seldom has his hands on the bars... if ever at all, maybe, only to stop and take off.

I just installed these bars that Scott @sm2501 made and sold here:https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/teens-handlebars.127889/
They fit perfect and look super cool.

I don't think I've seen that one. Nice! Who has more bikes... you or Hippie Mike?

These are the same bars I think.

This is new to me; it goes in the Sunday new arrivals thread.
