Welcome from St. Louis!

In answer to your question...without more info (specifically how tall you are, arm length, etc.), difficult to answer. Assumin your "taller than avg," forward control extensions won't much help overall ridin posture (although will help leg comfort!). Nor, if you're as tall as I am (6'2") will dif seat much help. My guess is prob new, more traditional drag bars. Jus sayin...

My .02 cents.

the forward controls are perfect,the handle bars feel like im reaching.i really want to be more upright.my wolf had a more streight up riding position and i guess im more comfortable that way.the bars seem short with little pull back,im 6' tall.

handle bar problem fixed by 1.5 risers from shawn ,here on the forum.they are very nice and work great.i have taken off the bicycle reflectors,why are those installed on the bike.
