Vaquero Handlebars

Has anyone seen or tried these?

https://baronscustom.com/catalog/dis...223/index.html

Just curious how they compare to stock bars. Says you don't need to change wiring or brake lines (presumably without using Chuckster's risers).

Thanks,

From reading here, I've read that up to about 11 1/2 at the most, the stock cables are fine. I'm holding out for the D M bars, he is member here very well made.

Yeah, I saw those and am tempted but not sure I like the square configuration if you know what I mean. I like the look of the Baron's since they're chrome and seem to have the same shape and give a little of the ape hanger feel, I think. I have Chuckster's risers but they just don't get me what I want.

Thanks,

I would like to raise mine a touch, unfortunately, the levers would be facing down.

I fixed that problem by using a Dremel to grind the small pins off inside the lever clamps. I get to put the levers where I want them now, not where Kaw want me to have them.

Sounds good :) No slippage on the switch boxes?
