Road 6 handlebars

Does anybody have any experience with Road 6 Handlebars on a Vaquero? Fitment, finish, comfort....etc?

Ya, they have some bars that look close. That would be great because those other guys want WAY too much $$$.....

I have, they are crazy expensive, that's why the Road 6 caught my eye. BTW, How do you like your Corbin?

I'm a big fan of Corbin seats. This is the third one I've had. The first was on my Z1000. Put more than 100k on that seat, and it was perfect the whole time. The second was on my C14, and it completely changed the seating position for the better. I have done multiple 1000 mile days on this one, and get off the bike feeling good. I highly recommend them.

The "12" HOLEY ROLLER looks promising. Shame it takes buck-fifty bump from 1" to 1.25"
Will be interested if someone rolls the dice on these...

Ride safe,

The Holey Roller 12's need hoses extended, 10" are marginal, gotta reroute shit, 8" are perfect bolt ons....
Gonna get the drilled and dimpled? I get my stuff not drilled unless I'm gonna run wires thru the bars....which is pain on dressers....

Greetings,
Not interested in the hassle of wiring through the bars. 10" might be the way to go then.
A Happy Birthday to me gift then...

Ride safe,
Smokier
