Don't start picking on the newbies again, you'll get uncle Fill worked up about how there are no dumb questions.... and just so we're clear Tim, I'm not saying it was a dumb question.

okay  Apreciate the vote of confidence. And I do know they aren't exactly new but I am at a point that i now want to customize my bike more. So here I am, and I still want to know the opinions of those who ride with them on how they like it?

If you're TALL and have LONG arms , the buckhorns make you feel a little cramped . They are better for SHORT folks with SHORTIE arms , but I'm NOT pickin' on them , we love them too . The buckhorns with the LED grip thingies will stick you in the ribs when you turn .  Not good , not good at all . P.S.Don't pick on the noobies , they have feelings and we love them too .

Hey now, I grew up feeling relatively "normal", all the way to 6'5". It's not my fault most other kids quit along the way, but they drank coffee and smoked cigarettes on grade school playground breaks.
Back to the bars, I find the riding position pretty comfortable, more-so than the stock bars. If I was writing a magazine review, I'd say "relaxed".

So for a 6'4" 230lb type you would recomend them? I'm getting mixed feelings here...

I'm a scrawny 222, but also have a Corbin seat which I believe sets back an inch or so in the saddle, others may chime in here???????? BTW ~ 4 hrs to "Happy Hour" on the homefront jh

Hey , Tim , it's like pulling teeth ain't it bro'? Mebbe whin the Crown runs out , you will git yer answer . You could go to Ft.Likkerdale and try out Phather Phil's bike , he won't mind !  ( If you bring Crown ).
