[red head sue]

I've searched the forum here and scoured the internet looking for either different handlebars or some way to pull the existing ones back. Has anyone found anything that will work? We are NOT welders in our house, so there's no way we could mod the bars that are on the bike. I need some pull back, no rise, just pull back. I LOVE my Stryker, but it would be so much more comfortable with some pull back. We're planning a long ride (5 days) this fall and I am worried that my back won't hold up.

Hey Sue, Srtaighjacket on this forum is in the possess of manufacturing handlebars etc. He is an excellent welder and metal worker. I am going to get with him in the near future and see what he can make for me. I'm with you on the pull backs. I am 5'5" with kind of short arms in comparison to where I set in my seat and reach my pegs comfortably. I find myself leaning forward a bit on long rides and putting stress on my back and neck. Wife and I just got back from a 2,700 mile ride and I strapped 2 duffel bags on my back seat that pushed me forward 2 or 3 inches so I could reach the bars comfortably. But having something to lean back on really is the key to being comfortable for long rides. My wife also strapped a pillow to her suitcase on her back seat and we rolled down the hwy like we were in lazy boy recliners. Here is a pic
