When I ride either of my GF's bikes ('77 Ironhead and an '87 Virago both with buckhorn style bars), my right hand cramps. I have an '03 883 with stock bars on 4 1/2" pull back rises, and my hands never cramp. cantolina 13th April 2007, 00:56 ok the wife wants buck horn bars put on her bike so we now have a set hanging on the wall what i need to know is what size cables & brake like we need its an 01 1200 C going from drag bars to buck horn bars !:tour Buckhorns....... although they are my favorite looking bar, I have to say that I actually began having real, by-God carpal tunnel issues.....as soon as I changed bikes, (a'la the Bambi Incident), it went completely away...... Just one bum's observation....... :laugh Oh, and to answer your question, I went with 6" over on everything and was fine on my 02 883C (http://xlforum.net/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=544)..... Although I DID run the wires thru the bars.....the wiring isn't included in this estimate, but would probably be near the same....... |
