Can anyone comment on the Norman Hyde Western Bars for the Bonnie? The stock bars just don't do it for me.

They are REALLY wide, and if you plan on using the end caps, you cant cut them.
The stock bars dont do it for me, but on the vintage Triumphs I cut 2 or more inches off the stock bars and they are still wide.

I love them, makes the whole bike feel more relaxed. Really like the way the bike looks with the wider bars.

They look like they would hinder the riding position at high speeds. That is, they they seem to provide a higher riding position that would make it difficult to crouch over the tank, increasing wind resistance.

You could try the bars from the Scrambler - I love the riding position.
