Okay everyone I need your help and advice.:bowdown::bowdown: Because of the stiff leg I need to move back in the seat (removing some foam from back of seat) so the blessed thing fits on the floorboard BUT now me arms' aren't long enough!! :sign **** happens: I already have the Venture risers on the bike, but have been looking for handlebars with more pullback, so I don't lose grip on the bike when in full lock of the handlebars. And to top it off they can't be too wide either!! I'm not built like a lumber jack :crackup::crackup:Want something around 30-33inches wide. So come on people, thinking caps on :think: and help this old girl get riding

On an XJ 1100 Maxim I had to grind off the locking tabs to adjust the bars for a person with short everything, arms included. She can now go from lock to lock without letting go of the handle bars. It's easy to do the job.

Wish I could help you Annie. There are so many variations of handlebars offered out there it really is hard to offer up one in specific. A lot of folks here have gone with the Flanders handlebars but that also means running longer control cables too I think.

 

Once you find the right combo of seat comfort and handlebar fit You will be a happy camper for sure! Good luck.

 

Boomer.....whose knuckles drag on the ground and don't need different bars on his scoot.

:thumbsup2: Thank you all -- very helpful info. I am already getting longer front brake lines. Alan wants to put braided lines on for me, so ordered them a bit longer. Will check out the Flanders bars, can Freebird, or any other short-armed person (sorry Freebird ):whistling:

tell me which model / shape they preferred

And Boomer, sorry to hear about the draggin' knuckles :rotf::rotf:it must be very difficult for you to put the key in the ignition :puzzled: do you roll up your arms ?? :stickpoke::crackup:

No problem for me Annie..........Hope you do well with whatever handlebars you end up with.
