Are these stock bars?

[robdrobd]

After about 3 months I'm a little disappointed in the riding position of my 2013 v7 Stone. Then I took a look online and maybe found the problem. Are these stock handlebars? If not, maybe the stock ones have more rise and will keep me from leaning forward so much?

If you need a different bar it doesn't matter if this one is stock or not.  The better question is "These bars suck -- what are my options?", and the answer is that hose are standard 7/8 bars.  You can use almost anything you like in place of them.  Go to your local UJM store and ask if you can haul a few pairs (one at a tmie) out to the parking lot and hold them up to the bike.  Take the winner home.  The changeout, provided your calbes still fit, should be less than an hour.

If you find a bar that's not quite right you can clamp it to a wood deck and use pipe cheaters to change the bends.

Good luck!

If I was sitting on your bike I would probably find your handlebar perfect in that I want to lean forward some just like on my 750 Breva.

I'm thinking about buying the corbin gunfighter seat. I think I'm wait and see if the riding position improves with the seat and bars

Try one thing at a time.. if the seat is bad try that first even if it costs more than bars, you already know you need a better saddle..

" If you find a bar that's not quite right you can clamp it to a wood deck and use pipe cheaters to change the bends. "

The most expensive part of this is that first he'll have to build a deck.

Of course, it will have to be a big one...you know what the ladies say.
