Nice. You think it would aggravate wrist issues?  Looks way cooler

I find it more comfortable than a bar with more degrees of bend at the ends. For my shoulder width & arm length if works.  I had a pure flat drag bar on my BSA and that was indeed uncomfortable on the wrists.

imma buy one then.  For the money if it's painful I can get another shape and try again.  So many options

I bought the exact same bar from the exact same vendor. I ordered the titanium colors.

Went for a 90 mile ride today; can confirm there is no extra flex or vibration that i noticed.  I like the view from the cockpit better as well. 

I'm going to have to give a big thumbs up to this mod all around.

I just unbolted the bar and slid the clamps to either side in case I wanted to put the cross bar back on.

Don't notice the clamps at all at the MC and mirror mount. Think I'll just leave them there.

I thought about removing it then I bought the beeline moto and had to have somewhere to mount it using the mirror stalk mount so mine is staying.
