Light riding is okay with them.Well, just because they bothered your shoulders....
Rode a buckhorned special for 2-3yrs as a daily driver in Fla. back in the early 80's. Never had shoulder probs. Another buckhorn for 4 yrs in the 90's... still no shoulder probs. Actually never heard of anyone having shoulder probs 'till now.
How come they hurt your shoulder then?Light riding is okay with them.
Yepper, I like my buckhorns!I'm a member of @Paul Sutton ('s) Buckhorn Gang.
They're OEM Special buckhorns.
Warning: if you get 'em... everyone here will laugh at you. Jus' ignore 'em...
I’ve been riding with mine since ‘82, no shoulder pain,very little arm fatigue on long trips! They seem to fit my 6ft, long arm body! I really don’t like to lean forward much while riding,unless I’m getting it,and when I do they are still comfortable for me! Some of those wide Harley bars and straight bars ain’t all that comfortable on an XS for a tall person! But I have been riding with them 40 + years now so my arms and shoulders and wrists, are definitely in tune with them! And yep my chrome started to flake,mainly around the brake fluid reservoir! Thinking about seeing if I can get them rechromed!Well, just because they bothered your shoulders....

I doubt I've hypnotized him into shoulder problems. I agree wholeheartedly with your statement. In fact that is one of the great things, the unspoken rule that you don't do that. On the other arm, if anybody develops something that starts with a twinge in the shoulder and progresses to your arms work in slo-mo, you'll know where to perhaps start looking.Be interesting to see how you get along with them now.
Bars, grips, tires and a lot of other things about bikes are what do you like. Nobody should try to tell somebody else what they should or should not like.
LOL! Then I would have to get a brown seat to match!Be sure to get the hipster brown grips on them Wulfie!
...and FWIW, I agree wit GLJ. Ergonomics are simply too personal to make blanket statements IMO.

Brown seat and grips is always a good look . And don’t anyone go calling me dirty names like hipsterLOL! Then I would have to get a brown seat to match!
Touche’I thought the cool kids all wear red shoes...
I think the goal of an industrial designer (looks designer) should be to make the product look like it would taste good. Where possible. Seriously.You know what they remind me of? Gummy colas. MMMmmmm.....
