This is the question. Has anyone found an answer? I want to make my riding position more comfortable and i think that i should raise the bars a bit. I know that bar raisers are a good solution but i would prefer higher bars. :???:

I just installed the flat track bars on Bonnie. Slightly higher (think 1/4 inch) and about a inch or so more pullback.
Seems to have help my shoulder problems at least on rides around town. Am 6'2" so the little extra is a plus.

Install is so new have not had time to take a long ride with the new bars. If weather is nice this weekend will do a longer ride and report.

BellaCorse just came out with some new bars (which I have on order) called Highlanders- 8"rize, 10"pullback. Made for the America, but with available extended cables wlill work for Bonneville.

Thanx! RT, i m very interested to read your review about the flat track bars. Izzo, i checked the highlander bars from bella corse and its not what i had in mind.I think they would change the looks of the bike completely. Anyway, thanx again for your replies.

The risers from new bonne work great for me.
And I think they look good too.
