The beach cruiser bars are very comfy riding at low speeds, but they're weird at higher speed. What doesn't show up very well in the picture is they have about a 60 degree sweep back. Instead of rolling the throttle back, you kind of twist it sideways.The black 5 inch risers don't look terrible. But they don't look great, either.
I kinda like the looks of the red bars.
On the other hand, though, I'd trade comfort for looks any day. I guess you must feel the same way since the bars that started this thread looked really good but you've nixed them over the comfort issue.
I've got a new set of bars coming that I should be able to show off by Friday or Saturday. I think they're going to hit the spot.Yes, I have the same problem with beach cruiser bars. They make the bike look good, it's true. But it's just not a comfortable hand position.
I like mountain bike bars with a bit of rise and moderate sweep. I guess about 20 deg, though I've never actually measured.
They don't always look quite as good. But often they're in the ballpark.
I only have 2 requirements. They have to look right, and feel right. It's pretty easy to get bars that feel right, because I know what I like, but it's hard to tell ahead of time what they'll look like on your bike till you try them.I've tried all of those types of bars and really cant say one kind is better. Go with what gives the most comfort on long trips and control at high performance. Seems like there is allways a tradeoff and your thinking maybe I should try those instead or I should have used those bars instead.
I'm kicking around the idea of converting it to electric for my bubbies to ride. She's pretty dangerous so maybe only about 750w.What'chu gonna be do'n with the Deep Six??
Bucket list and all that jazz....................(my bucket list -- lol).
