Hi Scotty. The search for the right bars for the right bike can definitely be categorized under the journey of self-discovery. There are a lot of neat handlebars out there, and a good number of them will sing like sirens as you sail from one website to the next. But, I think what it all boils down

Yep, the saddle position makes a BIG difference with Moustache Bars. In my opinion, they only work if you can get a good distance behind the BB, then bring the bars to you. Joe only a little wine Bernard Vallejo, CA. On Sunday, April 8, 2012 12:55:46 AM UTC-7, Lee Chae wrote: Hi Scotty.
