    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Yes, I put "Superbike Bars" on mine that are very similar to Daytonas. That's how I have the stock "L" bars shown for comparison. But with the OP saying he's 6'4 and not really complaining about the bars height, just the wrist angle / wanting to spread his arms out , I wondered if they would be too low and move his pain down to lower back.
Now the GoldWing has a straight "Broomstick" Dragbar and I find it uncomfortable on 100+ mile rides because it puts my wrist the exact opposite of the "L" bars.
Airwolf, you can find new bars for about $20-$25 if you search out decent vendors, Try Cycle-X, Motorcycle-superstore and Z-1... Flanders will give you "sticker-shock". Keep an eye out for bikes you like and ask the owner what they are, maybe you can set on it and "try" the feel.
 
Hey Hoosier, $10 sounds good to me. I had looked at some straight bars a few times, and I don't think they'll work for me. I like the looks of the the Goldwing bars you showed. Similar height, but not pointed in towards me as much. Is that offer still available?
 
Sure but the price went up... NAAH just kidding.... PM being sent!
 
Hoosier, I replied to your PM but I'm not sure it sent. IT doesn't show anything in my sent folder.
