    Would daytona bars be much different than what I have now?

    I am 6'5" and find I lean just a tiny bit too much forward for my taste, I use the bike to commute and never go over 50mph so a steep lean is pointless, would rather sit up a tad more .

    this is what I have now:





    sorry best pix I have for now.

    Daytona bars are very similar to what you have now.

      I would even go so far to say they might be a bit lower leaning you more forward. They look more like my "Euro" bars that I have on the G. About an inch more rise & a bit more pullback than Daytona's.

      At 6.1 you should be fine with what you have... I'm only 5.8.

        ah we'll just see then I ordered a set of daytonas from jc whitney, even if they are identical new chromers are gonna look better than what I have anyways, and for $20 it aint even worth me painting what I have...



        for those Canucks that havent tried, they seem to have the BEST shipping policy to Canada I have ever seen, free shipping over $100 (no one offers this to Can), plus flat rate of $12 covers ALL taxes, duties and borkerage.

        I don't HATE what I have, just "if I am buying new anyways", I didnt like any of the other choices so daytona it is!

          You could get some 1 or 2 in. risers that go under the bars. Just do a google search for handle bar risers.

                For that price, they better be made of gold.
