I run no.10 tracker bars on my 75. I like the wide grip. The older I’m getting I am thinking of something with a bit more rise. But I don’t take my bike on any long rides so I can live with it.
Why not?But I don’t take my bike on any long rides so I can live with it.
Just a combination of life changes. Still driving kids around a lot limits my two wheel time. I also don’t have many friends that ride here anymore. I’m working on changing that though. I’ve made a few steps recently to get involved in a local vintage bike group. They actually asked me to display my 75 at a historical venue here in a few weeks to promote a local vintage bike show alongside a restored Norton and a Janus, which is manufactured nearby.Why not?
Not sure what you mean here Kevin. Did you mean to post that in this thread?We are getting pretty close to politics in this thread, ADMINS shut it down...

Are these bars the 30'' wide with 5 1/2'' pull back Euro bars from Mikes X/S ?... # 25- 0123- GI very much like the lower bars. I think they make longer rides more comfortable and are actually easier on the back. When you're leaned forward slightly, your hips take the bumps instead of your spine. My bar of choice is the Euro bend, not too high and not too low, just perfect in my mind - and from experience using them. The way they droop down slightly on the ends turn your wrists to a more natural angle than a bar that sticks straight out, and this makes them very comfortable .....

Since there aren't any shorter cables available, you just have to make do with rerouting the originals. If you simply route them down the opposite sides of the steering neck compared to where they were originally, that will usually do the trick .....

I believe that’s true. About $40 is as cheap as they come. Then, add shipping that has gone up far more.but it seems handlebar prices have gone up. Do a Google search.
Here’s a bent one for $42!I believe that’s true. About $40 is as cheap as they come. Then, add shipping that has gone up far more.
I enjoyed that thread.When you have time to waste, I did a bunch of experimenting with handlebars and riding positions in this thread. Presented for your amusement,
