Baron's H-Bar and 2.5" forward controls
« on: November 22, 2014, 05:01:31 pm »
I have put on the Baron's H-bar hoping to get my body a little more upright by moving my hands up and back. My hands are up but not back any. I am reaching as far up now as I was reaching down with the stock bars. But I like these new bars. It took a little riding, but they grew on me.
And moving the pegs forward just the 2.5" is all I wanted. I am 5'9" with a 30" inseam. I am a young dude, but my knees are old. I was trying to uncoil them just a little. The new position is GREAT!

Nice pic, does the 2.5 give you more ground clearance ?

Did you fit yourself or dealer fit ?

I have 29" "old" legs so this might help me as well  :-\

I bought the 2.5" forward controls on the forum. I had the boys down at the shop put them on; it took them about a half hour to put them on. As far as clearance, I have never yet scrapped the pegs, but I feel like I might with this set up, or at least I feel more comfortable. This new position is great for me!

Grandjack,

Could you post some more pics of the Baron H bars? I'm considering them… it would be nice to see a real example of how they look!
