Buckhorn Type Bars (Read 132 times)

Ebikerman Full Member Offline Jesus is #1 Posts: 100 Fitzgerald, GA Gender:	Buckhorn Type Bars 03/09/10 at 15:18:43 I see from searching that the LS650 buckhorn bars will fit a newer '(06) S40 without adding parts or lengthening cables and wires. My question is... will the buck horns move the grips closer to the rider? That is, if I take the tall risers and remove the inner bent section to make them much lower. Thanks, ebikerman

5'8", 31" inseam, stock 2000 with buckhorns. Don't have other bars to compare with but you can see how the buckhorns fit me.

The camera adds 10 pounds. I had five cameras pointed at me.

Looks from the photo that buckhorns will be just fine. I am 2 inches taller than Paladin with about the same inseam, maybe a little longer. Everybody's input is greatly appreciated and helpful. Just what I needed to make the decision. The photo was extremely helpful. By the way, I already have the buckhorns. I bought them new several months ago on ebay, but thanks for the offer....Dan

After a few different rides, I would adjust the angle until they were just right. Don't have that option with the drag bars.
