#39475 jetmechanic (User) Let go and let God! Expert Boarder Posts: 511 Need new handlebars 4 Years, 8 Months ago   Hey Fellas, After about 60-70 miles of riding my right pinkie finger and ring finger start tingling and then get numb. I am 6'1,250 lbs. I have an Ultimate seat which pushed me forward a little, but it is better than the stock seat. I have the stock bars and risers. I am looking at maybe the Barons starbar, or Baron's Big Johnson handlbar. Is anybody else having problems with the stock bars or is it just me. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time, Cody JC   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #39478 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Need new handlebars 4 Years, 8 Months ago   You could try adjusting the tilt on your bars up or down and see if that helps.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #39492 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12504 Re:Need new handlebars 4 Years, 8 Months ago   I put on the Yamaha medium risers it gives a 2 1/4 rise and a 1 1/4 pull back. That along with the Kuryakyn grips cure my numb hands but not sure how they would be without the throttle boss. I put two throttle bosses on one on each grip. I can rest my palm on the boss and lay my finger on the levers and rest my hand and still have control with my hands on the grips. Beside that's just more CHROME!   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #39592 Fire ResQ (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 351 Re:Need new handlebars 4 Years, 8 Months ago   I installed the Baron Big Johnson bar about two years ago. I would highly recommend it. I am right about the same size as you, I have a Mustang seat which also puts me a bit forward. I find that the Big Johnson bar is perfect for my hands. If I sit on the bike and close my eyes and envision the perfect spot for my hands, that is exactly where the bar places them. I also have move the floor boards forward about 3". One issue I had with the bar was a slight blemish in the chrome just between the risers. That just gave me an excuse to get a tach to mount on the risers.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #39595 IMTopGun1 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1959 Re:Need new handlebars 4 Years, 8 Months ago   I found that the 4 inch risers and 12inch mini apes felt perfect for my height of 6'3". I don't get that crotch rocket tweek in the small of my back like I did from the stockers because I sit up more than lean over.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
