Hello everyone,

Anybody out there using Crossroads HB's on their Buell? I am thinking about putting a set on 98 S1W, but would like to hear some opinions and feedback before I commit to a set. Thanks in advance.

If you can handle the weight on your wrists/shoulders I prefer clip-ons. If you like the Crossroads why not just use a $20 7/8" drag bar? It's almost exactly the same only the bars are little closer towards your body.

Have them on my bike now, they were too low for me with the thick pro series saddle I had on before so I switched back to the seat I cut down, it's about 2" less foam and took a lot of weight off my wrists. The base plate on my bars is a little flexy, wish it was made of a stiffer metal like 7000 series aluminum, or maybe just a thicker plate... Great for canyon carving though puts me in just the right position.

i have clip-ons on the s1w and crossroads on the s1. tried to put drag bars first on the s1, but didn't find any wide enough for the right side master cylinder set up and the angle was strange for carving. i like the clip ons better, but the xroads give me less wrist pressure for the street.

I have crossroads bars on my 98 S1W. I love em!!! They provide a better riding position for carving the twisties, but are not the choice bar for long distance riding (200 plus miles at a shot).

I have a set of LSL's I will be selling in a week or 2, not sure if they fit the tubers.

Got 'em on my 98 S1 and I love 'em. A bit better feel in the twisty's. A little tough on the wrists after a long ride but hell, I'm 60. If you're younger (and who ain't) you'll be ok.
