I am looking for suggestions on different handlebars. I am a short guy, 5-7 and my sleeve lenght is a 33 so I tend to be leaning forward.

Any suggestions on handlebars that would put e in a more comfortable position for long rides.

Thanks,
Eric
 
Bump...I am looking for bar options for an '09 Standard that has more pull back and a little bit more height without having to go to a completely custom set up. Anybody got any ideas?

and before one of our resident smart@sses brings it up...yes, I know this is an old thread
 
I thought there were two. Twins, if you will. Both hate darksiders.
 
Tex have you thought about the Classic bars (they have more pull back) couple that with some Rivco risers and that will give a bit more height as well
 
I've looked around a bit, but couldn't find any information on the Classic bars regarding height, pull back, etc
 
I'm in the process of converting to the Thunderbird risers and drag bars for the same reason. I feel like I'm always hunched over.
 
I had Flanders Ultra Classic bars on my 2005 standard:

They supposed are 2" higher with 3" pullback. I'm 5'10" and even these bars were not perfect. This could have been due to the Corbin seat. If you sit on the bike with your arms in a comfortable position, how much pull back do you need? I'm sure there's something on the Flanders site that will work. Expect to replace some cables.

I just sold a T-Bird with 6" Rivco risers. That was totally comfortable with the stock bars but it's a completely different bike.
