Those aren't handlebars, that's a broomstick.

Yeah my tush hurts after a couple of hours. I did not really buy this bike tho thinking it would be super comfy tho. That being said..I still would like to take it on some curvy roads in the area that are 5-8 hrs away from home. Corbin seat might be good for my Butt!!!!

Well, bar risers and set backs only do that- raise and move back. The angle of the bar stays the same.

What I did is bars that are the same height, and not moved back, but more pulled back- (swept towards the rider) as well as wider for more leverage on the bars and less shoulder strain.

Hey Josh... those bars look great, and I like the idea a LOT. Three questions...any issue at all with tank clearance when turned full stop? Were you able to use existing cables and such or did you need to lengthen anything? Last but not least, what bars are those (part number, source)? Thanks in advance!

did you ever get this info from Josh? I'd like the same info!

Hi guys, I'll see if I can find the part number when I get home from work tonight.

They are Honda bars, and also will fit the bar end weights. You will need to re-drill the holes for the controls, or at least I did because I retrofitted 2013 controls on to my 2014.

The stock cables/hoses fit but are tight.

The handle bars look very interesting. I thought about changing the angle of the bar and I think it would improve long trips in the saddle.

I've finally solved the "vibration" issue that has been causing my right hand to go numb after 30 minutes of riding. It was caused by damaged carpel tunnel nerves in my arm which also go through the palm of one's hands. My right arm has such damage over years of using a computer mouse and keyboard as a programmer. So, once I read about those nerves moving through my palm, the one wrapped around the throttle, I changed my riding position so only my fingers are wrapped around the throttle and not my palm and the problem never appeared again. I also sit further back in the seat almost to the strap and this stretches my arm out which helps those nerves and is very comfortable for me and seems to be a good position for my legs as it turns out, once I got used to the feel of the shifter in that position. So, my earlier efforts using foam handlebar grips and trying to use a looser grip had no good affect and I was at the point of thinking of either quitting riding or changing to a cruiser style bike in an attempt to change the dynamics that trigger this tingling numbness, even paying some heed to some who have written about the naturally high frequency vibrations that might be inherent in a four cylinder engine but fortunately even if some of that is true to an extend, the real issue with me anyway was pressure on my palm which triggered the tingling and then the numbness in my hand due to carpal tunnel damage and the real fix is not to the bike but to my riding position that stretches my arms out comfortably and taking the weight off my palms.
