Lurch any chance of a picture of this set up and then just with the stock bars held or laid on top to see the difference between the bars......yes a visual person is me......before Troll say's it......

I'll try on the w'end. Kinda flat-stick this week trying to get shit finished before Christmas.

Looks nice.....what's the difference in hand positioning?  Further out?  More pullback?  Raised height?

A bit closer, significantly wider and lower.
I find it helps keep my shoulders relaxed.
It makes for a very 'old school' seating position. However I thought it might end up making me even more of a wind sock on the bike, but thankfully it hasnt panned out that way.

You guys keep dragging me into things...you are a bad influence! He is pretty visual, however!

Looks good.  Have you taken her for a spin with the new bars?

Yup - took it to work today.
Certainly helps keep the shoulders relaxed. The extra leverage on the bars it interesting however. But all in all, I do like them.

So I ended up ordering a set of these.
Other than having to re-route the throttle cables to behind the triple clamp and drilling a new locating hole at the throttle end of the bars - fitting was a dream.

Quick one.
Anyone have an idea of what work is involved in changing to Baron Nostalgia Handlebars?
They're 36" wide, so I'll take a guess that the throttle cables will be an issue? What if I shortened them a bit? (reach isnt an issue for me).
