Right hand side of the page, near the top, is a "Flanders" handlebar section, in there is a diagram on how to measure handlebars.

For example :
Baron Nostalgia Bars
Dimensions Diameter 1" Width 36" rise 3 1/2" pullback 14 1/12" knurled 100 mm center to center
Diameter 1.25' w 39" r 6.5" sweep 18.50"
Burly 1" dimpled
width 39.5" rise 4.5" pullback 14.75" 9.5 center width
So as you can see there's different measurements out there , but these are pretty much the standard ones I been finding . I now I'll most likely change out cables etc as most have used stock cables just rerouted them to the front of the tree . I'm lost when it comes to the risers . Do I need to change them etc. etc. etc .

thanks D1, but I find the stock bars really comfortable, I did this winter that I am going to move them one or two notches up to make them even more comfortable. Hope you find the bars you are looking for.

- January 04, 2014, 21:10:42 PMFellow drifters I'm sure this topic has came up , but with my knowledgeable computer skills .. LOL ... I just haven't been able to find answers I'm searching for .
I know there's plenty of name brands out , such as Burly , Baron etc. who sell beach bars , nostalgia and what ever else they refer to these bars as . Here's the thing I'm trying to find a pair for that retro 40's look for MA-DEUCE . Not only do I love the look . but from reading many different reviews , the one thing it seems everyone mentions is the comfort for 1 and for 2 is the pain relief from their shoulders and back . With these style bars from what people are saying , let's you ride with a straightened back and loose arms , no reach feeling . They also say it feels like adding power steering to the scoot in this position as well as for some reason makes the bike feel lighter . All plus's in my eyes with a cool look to boot .
Here's a few pictures of what fellow drifters have sent me . Man this look for me is SSSSSWWWWEEEEETTTT
