Agree on this.
I had put a set of low bars on but, after running them for a couple of weeks, changed back to the original OEM bars this last weekend.
Unlike other 'nakeds' I've owned, I really only noticed a very minimal difference at highway speeds between the two and, on the tighter, twisting backroads around here I missed the extra leverage of the originals. I usually ride with a tank bag also which changes the flow of air on most any bike, and in combination with the perfectly placed footpegs (for me anyway), I now can see that Honda knew better than me what dimensions the handlebars should be.
Anyhow, I also want the option of adding a windshield and there was simply no room on the superbike bars for the mounting hardware of the National Cycle screens that I'm considering.
