Best HandleBars for a rig?

My 95 has the earlier bars..

I think I have rig set up pretty well but notice it take quite a bit of persuasion to turn at speeds over 20mph and I think a wider bar would help. Which set would be better for a rig?

or

Anyone have an opinion?

The wider the better for a sidecar. The bend is a personal choice. Try to find where your hands fall naturally with the bars pused out of the way. Then do the math.

Definitly the top choice.
Putting more air in your tires helps a lot, too. I'd try 34 pounds front and back. 32 lbs minium.

I agree air pressure in tires is critical. I used the recommendation from CMW's website. It made a big difference.
