Handlebar specs
I am considering going to some type of ape hanger bars on my 2005 Nomad. I have short risers which has helped but the angle of the bars puts my hands at the bent angle and my wrists to sleep. I would like them to be a little higher and closer to me as well. Is there any good way to determine how a bar will ride other than guessing?

handlebar hand angles
One of the main things I dislike about the stock bars is the grip angle. It seems I'm having to turn my wrists outward too much. I read one thread about most being around 22 degrees and more comfortable was around 42 degrees (or something like that).
That spec isn't listed on bars is it? So I guess you just have to look or find someone with the bars if you are lucky. Login or Register to Remove Ads |
