Handlebars RK cvo '14
« on: October 24, 2013, 07:07:44 PM »

Don't know if this is the right place for this topic, but I don't like stock handlebars on my RK cvo. They are very low and grips are some how positioned so when I hold bars looks like my hands are twisted outside, very awkward position. Want to change this ASAP did anyone change their bars and what you went with. thx as always, Grof

Just dropped off Wild Ones 502 to have them powder coated shinny black to match. I hope they fit as I have the same problem The bars are too narrow and the grip angle is way wrong unless you are only 10 inches wide.         Billy Should be done by mid Nov. I will try to post pictures.

I don't like any stock bars , they are not comfortable at all, customizing is a part of the the game. :)

I think I am going with Buky Bars 14" or 16" Malo 2s on my 14 SERG.   Got rough quotes for $760 labor and ~$400 for cables/wires.   I'll buy the bar once I decide on one and get the ball rolling.

I am 6,1 and 270 and bars are puling my arms inside and out totally weird, but if you are  smaller guy they might be good for you. Like you said each has his own idea...

If I decide to pull the trigger on one, it will be getting a nice set of 12 or 14 inch apes powder coated black of course.
