I just changed bars to correct a bar clearance issue. I had a set of bars bent out 13 deg to keep my controls from hitting the tank. The tree was made for the smaller tank. I'm wondering what bars others here are running that look similar in the position. They feel almost like they are straight on the short ride that I took after installing them.

I just switched to clubmans on advice from some fellow badwebbers here, They are awesome!

Can you post a pic from the same view? These feel like the flat tracker bars I had on my Triumph Tiger in the 70's. They feel wider than my Crossroads bars for the Manta tank but that may just be my perception.

Brinnutz, Let me know how it works out. Hope he is going to cut us a deal for multiple units.

I've had several pair of Clubmans and they work great.

Thanks for the pics. I guess I'll have to get used to the wider bar angle if I want to run the Manta tank.I matched them up with my Crossroads bars and the angle is almost identical but these are 1.5" wider on each side. I think if I cut them down a bit, they won't feel so strange

I've always loved the look of clubman bars on the Buell. I'd like to hear a comparison as to how close they are to the stock riding position of an M2.

I move the MC in until it touched the clamp and brought the throttle and left grip in also. It reduced the bar spread almost 2" and feels noticibly better.
