Getting ready to order some handlebars on mikesxs. Not sure if I want the european, superbike, or possibly the daytona bars. Pics would be great. Thanks.
Here are the pictures of my 75 xs, these are the Euro bars i bought off mikesxs. I love these bars. there the perfect size too. Riding my bike now, kinda feels like this
Haha. perfect little emoticon for that. Do you feel like you sit very far forward or is it a somewhat comfortable upright position? Good looking bike by the way.
Well i sit upright with my arms slitely bent, so, ya im pretty much up right. Im not to forward like drag bars and not way back as in crouse bars, but i do lean forward a bit. I find it comfortable. What postion are you looking for?
I just put the european bar on, and they do keep you fairly upright. I would actually like to find a slight lower riser bar with even less pullback than those. I like being pulled forward a bit, but I'm not so hot on the look of a plain drag bar.
this is a picture of super bars from straight on, I love em. with stock pegs you'll lean slightly forward, the angles work great (rise, drop and pullback)
Anybody hear of a company called EMIG or maybe something similar that makes handlebars? I saw a really nice superbike bar by them but I don't know if I got the name right, and I can't find them online.
I like 'em. I'm tallish (around 6'4") with gorilla arms, and a standard, so the ability to scoot forward or back along the flat seat depending on wind speed or agility requirements is nice - something i couldn't do with the American style pull-backs.

The problem with handlebars is you don't know which bar is best for you until it is on the bike and you ride around a bit. Some bars are just about perfect if only they had a little more pull back or rise. I think Euro bars have a bit more pull back but are low.
