New Handlebars

Okay, I got new handlebars. My original bars always seemed like they came so far back that they were hitting me in the sides. I was going to get the seat post that sets the seat back but then it would go back so far that I wouldn't have room back there on the luggage rack for anything. These seem okay. I kind of wish they were about 1 1/2 inches wider on each side, but they are very comfortable. Anyone else ever notice that the stock Whizzer bars come back too far?

Jay, I actually like handlebars that reach back to me. However, I'm not a real fan of the style of the stock bars. I replaced mine with half-moon bars, which if I'm not mistaken reach back even farther than the stock bars.
