Topic: Will I be reaching ???

[AR-Guy]

I am looking to change/upgrade my stock bars. I have a STOCK ’78 750f and want to transform it into a café/bobber (I know not normal, but then neither am I ).  Among the other projects I have in mind bars and mirrors are first.  My question on bars is: I am not very tall (5”7’) hence short reach, do any of the other not so tall forum folks have advice on what type of bars. Visually I like the look of super bike and drag bars but am worried about reach and an aching back.

Any comments, help, advice or money would be happily accepted!!!

I was (still am) worried about the ride and look with drag bars, so I just went and bought a 30 inch piece of 1/2 in ID plumbing pipe and rigged them up as a mock set of drag bars to see if I liked the look and feel of these. I will most likely go with a set of drags or slight bend drags.

P.S. you gotta feel sorry for those guys who have trouble with abnormal excess growth in height, unlike us normal people

IM 5'8" . I have clubmans and a low seat. Doesnt seem too bad. I went on a 95 mile ride yesterday with little discomfort. My neck was a little sore from looking up. But overall no worser than sitting in front of this blasted computer.
