A few questions from a new rider

I just don't like the look of the R model as well as I do the C. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for the reply. I'll take a look at those accutronix controls.

Thanks! There seems to be a wealth of information from very approachable members here. It's a great resource for new riders like myself!

I know what you mean. Just something about the lines of the R that didn't appeal to me either. Maybe it's those German WWII helmet-looking fenders.

Yeah. I generally like the classic look, but you hit the nail on the head about the fenders. Those are what turn me off with that look.

i have the jardine forward controls on my c, i think they worked great, im 6'5".
I would also recomend the seat mod from badx, i have not had it done yet but i hear realy good things about it.

So what's the deal with the Jardine's using the stock brake master and others (such as Accutronix) not? Could someone enlighten me as to the differences/problems with that? Does it just limit the placement of the controls?

Welcome to the cafe. I just recently purchased the Punisher bars and have not installed them yet. I took advise from many posts to the site and decided it was the bar for me, especially after the extreme seat mod set me back about 3".

Forgive my ignorance here, but don't the Punisher bars have a TON of pullback (is that even the proper term?)? I know that even when I sit on the R I still feel cramped. I have long legs, so my knees ride up high. Would I really need that much pullback? Also, what is this I hear about the Badx seat mod?

Thank you all for your responses! I still haven't decided which bars I'll go with, but after doing some searching around today, I think I might be able to make a decision.

Thanks again!
