Question Want new handlebars

I am looking to replace my existing handlebars with something more comfortable. I am tall and would like to find a handlebar that comes back closer to me so I don't look like a hound bent over humpin' a football. Anyone have any sites that would be helpful finding a pull back style handlebar. Thank you

I'd say you should definitely leave those footballs alone. Nothing good can come of that.

Lookin' for bars? Go to a winter bike show or an accessory dealer where you can try them out in person. Handlebars are a very personal thing. Keep in mind, however, that bars that feel good at rest may not be fun at all at 80mph. A little forward lean is good when you really get rolling.

Good Luck

Hey 29

You're tall and got a sporty-- 2 strikes already.. Aw heck,, I'll surely get heat for that..

Yes you want a slight forward lean to be able to tuck down Instantly when needed..
Good sugg--go put your hands on some of them..

Taller bars just might be better than "pull-backs" as they will allow you to sit straighter without leaning back..

JirehCycles.com

DennisKirk.com

J&P.com ,,,,,,,,,, etc etc etc..
And at Most aftermarket sickle shops..

Anywhere from $35 to over $100.. There is absolutely No diff in quality and in my experience the cheap bars have given me great service for many years..

Have a ball
