Being a broad chested long armed fella (knuckle dragger
) I like the buckhorns. I tilted mine down a bit from stock. When cruising down the highway I can rest my elbows right into my ribs and my arms go out almost 90 degrees. Of course if your use to a flat bar the angle may take some getting use to I guess. I'm sure that's what 90% of everyone's complaints about them is. Being from a sport bike background they are on the same plane of an angle I'm use to, kind of a down and away. Everyone's got their pro's and con's on bar's I guess.
What I'm getting @ is I would give them a try first. and if your gonna off them I'm sure someone on here would take them off your hands. I guess this all depends on if you actually get the bike first, of course
