I got the bobber bars with aftermarket 5 inch risers and 2 inch pullback, its a perfect set up now. I think i got the risers from Dennis Kirk. Then a trip to the hardware store for bolts and a slight modification to the tapered rubber bushings did the trick. Im 5 foot 9.5 inches tall. The best thing about the alternate bars is they are only 28.5 inches across. Much better handling now. Reply if you want me to send you more info and a picture of my bike

Love your bike beautiful, have the speedmaster myself only had it since march just love it had a triumph bobber with Ape hangers and they were very, very comfortable but now finding the beach bar's on the speedmaster just fine but think they look great, better looking than the Ape hangers so definitely keeping the beach bar's, your bike looks great enjoy and ride Safe.

It's possible to mount the mid controls of the bobber on the speedmaster. It will bring your feets further back. If your feets are further back it will be easier to lean forward.

I also have a speedmaster absolutely love this bike. The Handel bars could use a more turn for the wrist. my biggest problem from day one also was the throttle as so I machined a custom end for the grip that keeps constant drag so you can feel the engine as if you had a cable and carburetor. This made a one hundred percent improvement for a smooth controlled riding.

Mid controls and tracker bars transforms this bike into a more sporty/cruiser for easier twisty riding and better lean angle while offering great riding position.

Motone up and over risers would have fitted and raised it an inch or two and swept back an in or two, then fit grass tracker type handlebars, they come in many sizes and sweep, and you could also fit the bobber mid footrests. i had a set of Harley beach bars given to me to fit to my Harley 883 iron but didn't like the angle on the wrists that your talking about so looked at the grass tracker type bars that were fitted to the Harley nightster, i didn't put risers on as i thought it lifted them up enough with just the range of height profile, which it did and the extra sweep back from the tracker style bars (2 inch approx) done the job, now feels well comfy to ride for long periods. i have kept my mid mounts on also . different brand of bike i know but same problem, hope this helps someone.

Mine is the reverse situation. I have a T120 and don't care for the forward position of the handlebars. I am about to swap out the standard handlebars with the Speed master beach bars. I have the Rix risers on there now and don't like them any more than you do. So, once the beach bars are installed today, I'll take a long test ride and remove the Fox risers myself if I think the beach bars alone will work. I did have to get cable extensions to reach the beach bars. So now it's off to the dealership and see how this all works out.

Hi, I ordered a Speedmaster with a full front windshield and took it off. Too much noise and buffeting. How do you find the small windshield? Does it deflect much wind off of you?

What happened with the Rox risers, they slipped while you were riding on another bike. Now I’m afraid as my spouse has them to install for an Indian Scout.

I have the same reoccurring thoughts about the beach bars on my HD Low Rider. Love the look and they are mostly comfortable but I get a pain between my shoulders after a while. Mini apes might be good but HD charge a small mortgage to fit them. Like you say it is just a case of getting used to them. Beach style bars do suit Speed Master/Low Rider bikes. Thanks
