Title: My search skills let me down. Handlebar Question
Post by Greg on 09/13/12 at 18:04:45

I just must not be able to come up with the right key words in my search. I am hoping someone can either point me in the right direction or answer my question. I have the stock buckhorns on my 2002. What is the height, width, and pull back on these bars? I would like to make comparisons to aftermarket bars but need the info on mine first. I really don't know where the handlebar companies measure the bars to get these dimensions. Even knowing that would be beneficial.

Here is some info on measuring. I recently replaced my stock ones with new drag bars and a cheap riser modification.

I just replaced my buckhorns with a set of 10" mini apes. Here are the measurments for ya since I have them sitting right here

Width 27"
Rise 6.5"
Pull back 9"

Hope this helps
