Taller handlebars
« on: May 20, 2012, 04:47:34 PM »

Has anyone found a set of handlebars that work better for taller riders? I am 6'4" and the stock handlebars are a little short and actually ride really pretty close to my knees. I have a 2012 SEEG and was actually thinking of putting the Paul Yaffe 10" Monkee bars on, anyone running those or something different?

I'm going with the Wild One Chubby 575's on mine. I'm 6'3" and can't turn full lock with the stock bars on my SESG because of hitting my knees. NGH has these on his bike and they seemed like they would do the trick.

I have the 14" HCC which are maybe 1-2" below my shoulders (I am 6').  I can't imagine 10" bars will help you at all.  SJ Ron
