| | Posted : 03 Jul 2012 - 19:57 Post title : Handlebar comparison | | | Does anyone have info on comfort/position or tried two or more of the three available Triumph handlebars?
I'm talking about the Standard Bars, Twin-T Bars and Wide Handlebars.
I'm 1m90 and using the separate longhaul seats as the standards seats were way too low for someone my size, probably better suited for smaller persons.

Am I right if I think that the T-Bars handles are a bit further away so they make one sit a bit more straight and less leaned back?
I'm guessing the higher OEM bars will be more leaned back? Doesn't seem all that good for my back on longer rides, I tried sitting more straight as wel as leaning back with my standard bars and think I find the straight position more comfortable. All a bit from memory though since my bike is with the tuner to get all the engine mods done.
I tried a Storm in the shop again yesterday. It seemed more comfortable to me than when I tried it the first time.
