Attitude Handlebar?

[jcthorne]

I am considering replacing my stock handle bar with the attitude handle bar. Looking for feedback from others that have ridden with both and can relate the difference in wrist position, comfort and long distance drivability. Its hard to tell from the pics just what the difference is and how it will change my position on the bike. At $135 its not a terrible gamble, I can always sell it if I do not like it. Its also not a huge amount of work to install. Nothing like the Tri-Axis bars.

Anyone have the attitude bar and like or dislike it?

IMO, worth twice the cost. The different angle of the grips is perfect. Very easy to install, too.

I ordered the attitude when I ordered my spyder, so I never tried the stock. I'm very comfortable with the attitude bars.

Once my dealership got the "fitting dummy" I did go sit on it and tried the stock handebar position, and I hated it compared to the attitude, but it's not like I drove around with it to really compare the two.

The description on thE bars says it leans you forward ..... Not sure if I would like that..

I guess it depends on how tall you are and/or how long your arms are. I have long arms and I do tend to lean forward anyway, so it's very comfortable and natural to me, but we're all different, so each person needs to decide what's right for them.

They are a perfect fit for me, I am around Six foot tall and found with the stock bar I was almost leaning back a little and when riding at a reasonable speed I felt like I had to hold on tight to stop falling back due to catching so much wind. The Attitude bar has me leaning slightly forward and when I ride at speed now I pretty much just sit and relax. I find it comfortable as the bars are further forward and a bit lower than stock. Unfortunately the cost here is more than double what you pay :sour:
