Handlebar Width

markusmaximus · 06-20-2008, 06:03 PM

In the latest issue of MC there is an article comparing several "light heavy-weight" cruisers (1600 Vulcan, Suzuki C90, Yamaha Road Star, Victory, and HD Bat Bob). The Vulcan was criticized because, in part, of its wide 35" handlebars, which happens to be the same bar width on my 05 Nad. Personally, I don't have a problem with the bar width, although I prefer to sit upright when I ride, ergo my 3" riser extensions. But this article got me to thinking; how does the Nad handlebar width compare to other dressed cruisers (this is my first big cruiser so I really don't know) and how many forum members have changed handlebars? If so, why and to what?
