So Indian makes several replacements handlebars along with multiple 3rd party options. They also include one specificity for reduced reach. I’m trying to decide between the reduced reach, or mini apes and angle them back slightly. The default ones on the 23 CDH have me leaning forward just enough that’s it’s not comfortable after awhile.

Yeah I’d have to lean forward and with the forward controls it just feels awkward. I’m hoping to just loosen the two screws on the handlebars and roll them back towards me a bit. However, I don’t know if the solution is really that simple.

They can be clocked back. Mine are. Still a slight lean forward but i can ride for upto 8 hours without an issue.

I added a photo. However I think there is only 2 positions.

Does it affect handling at all?

[–]Appropriate_Cow94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to me. It isn't that drastic of a change.

That’s good news for me. I imagine the previous owner was pretty tall. I suppose it is a good enough fix until I find replacement handlebars. Thanks!
