Will drag bars=more comfort for me?

[gamorg02]

Thanks...I really think this is the ticket. I just need to strengthen that part of my body, and keep stretched. New muscle use is all. Today, I ate two bananas for breakfast, ran a little bit, stretched then rode....no problems. In my "testing" drag bars wouldn't do much for me anyway. I can grab the clutch lever like a handgrip and still have bend at the elbow. I'd have to go to somekind of clip-op-ish bar to lean forward.

no problem! just take the drag bars and rotate them down!

like i said if anyone just wants to try 'em be my guest! just pay for shipping.. i also have a spare grip i could ship with it so you don't have to unglue the one on your bars, but i do need the grip back.

I'm glad the stretches worked...a simple fix is best!
Clip or clap on handler bars are an option...I couldn't imagine anything that low or that far forward.
How about a kidney belt or a weight belt for support?
I hope it helps.

I run Flanders also. They are pricey but IMO the extra width is worth it.

I felt that I was leaning a little too far forward with them so installed a Gen-Mar riser, that and the Sport Max seat made my riding position perfect.

Danny,
Is there particular model numbers for those bars & risers? Or do they just make one model each for the Max??
