I'm sure someone has posted this befroe, but, has anyone used the Highlander bars from BellaCorse on their America? I have been thinking of risers or something to pull back the bars for me as I am 5'7". They say you should ride with a little bend in the elbow to keep from getting fatigued. Right now, my arms are almost straight and they bother me a lot on longer rides. Any comments?

I know a lot of guys run buckhorn bars which are similar and love them.

Thanks for the reply, I think these are new and not too many can answer yet on these specifically. I'll post here if I end up getting them and give and opinion.

I put the Highlanders on my '04 TBA four months ago. At first they felt as though I had less control, especially in the curves, but after some time I felt comfortable, and now think nothing of the differance. I am also 5'7", my wife is 5'3" and she prefers to keep her '02 TBA in the stock configuration. It kinda depends on your riding style, which is best for you, if you go with the Horns you will be more laid back.
