No not a steering wheel! I like my stock America bars, but I would like a little elevation..not quite Ape hangers, but something in between. Anyone tried (successfully) a specific, style or brand I can scope out?
Thanks,
ed

There's been a few that have gone to buckhorn handlebars. Here's a good thread about buckhorns.

I thought Phil would jump on this with both feet, but since he didn't... You have to have the pics online, either in Photopost or on some other photo site. Then you do this... Open the pic. Right click. Choose properties. Highlight the "http:/yada yada yada". Right click. Choose copy. Get out of there. Come back here. Type a reply. Select "image" from the Instant UBB Code box between the gremlins and the font color boxes. Put your cursor in the little box at the top of the screen. Right click. Select Paste. and Velveeta! There's the pic!! Clear as mud, eh?
More flags
More fun!

Thanks, Piper! Had a great ride. Even bought a couple of Triumph button shirts at my local Triumph dealer. Had 'em at 60% off . Ride safe.

Bob, Happy Birthday. Looks like you'll be spending the better part of the day trying to sort out the order of partaking! hum, start with the one on the left, then the one in the middle, no maybe the one with the glasses, sans glasses of course, then the second from the right, but the second from the left is clearly one to consider. See what I mean?
Have fun bro!
