Hey guys, could you recommend some handle bars that are more tapered towards the rider. Thanks!
I would really like those grips to be at least 2 inches closer from where they are stock on a 13 model.

There is a spreadsheet of handlebars with the specs. Checks should be able to help with location of the list.

Pullback will bring the handlebars closer to the rider but will also change how the rider grips the handlebar. As suggested Rox Risers or the likes. Will get the handlebars closer to the rider and keep the same grip.

I just added the Helibar 2"x1-1/2" to my 13 and was able to get enough slack in my brake lines by disconnecting the mounts on each side of the steering head portion of the frame and remounting with P-clamp/brackets (provided with the riser).

Makes a huge difference in posture. I also lowered the rear of the seat using smaller bumpers from the rear seat. I'm 6' and about 200lbs. Also improves my posture. Hoping it helps with lower back. I can do a week of daily iron butts on my Victory Cross Country, but my new ST wears me out after just 2-3 hours. My goal is to be able to continue long rides on the ST.

Best regards,

Mark

I have risers 1 up and 1 back, topped off with 2.5 inch rox pivots, I need more tapering. I want to sit as upright as possible. I like to sit at the rear part of the seat, so from there i gotta lean forward. I have long lines from jax. i want to sit like this ::001::
