wilcon76 2/27/2012 at 3:19 PM The Hard Ball handlebars are not the stock Cross Bars rotated up. They do share the same cables and lines but are shaped entirely differently to be up that high. the stock bars rotated up put the wrist at a very unnatural angle that is very uncomfortable. I had done this to my stock bars. I have since swapped to the Hard Ball bars on a regular Cross Roads, the reach is farther but at 6ft1 not terribly so. If you ride the stock Cross Roads back to back you would also notice the reach at full lock is roughly the same, the more laid back regular bars are wider giving the same overall reach in a turn. If you move the foot levers back with the built in slide adjustment the bike has a more mid control feel with the ape hangers and a much sportier off the tailbone seating position.
