Handle Bar

Kha
Just wanted to share that I just changed my handlebars to a Euro style bar and Im very satisfy with the riding position. I bought the bike with drag bars installed and I feel uncomfortable the bike overall so I bought new one from Amazon. Didnt ride it yet but liking the feel.

Anybody got these bars also? Was between the superbike bars and euro. Chose the euro because it was rated more comfortable.

I put the euro bars on my Hondamatic.  I love the way they look and feel while riding.  I also notice that I am much more confident in the turns.  But my right wrist starts to go numb after about 20 miles (didn't before I swapped), so I'm looking into what I can do to alleviate that.

Do you have to reach forward to grab the bars?
IF so, you could try some different risers that slant back or are offset.

Hmm.  It doesn't feel like I'm reaching forward, but maybe I am just so slightly that I don't notice.  I will try the different risers idea.  Thanks!

Your bars look like "Norman Hyde M style bars," is that what they are?

Nope, just generic euro bars.  Here's a better picture:

Well that's cool.  I guess the powersports store didn't know what they had.  They were labeled as euro bars and only 20 bucks.
