A few questions from a new rider

Hello all,

New to the forum...lots of information here!

Well, it's been about 12 years since I've ridden a motorcycle (and that was a dirtbike). Looking to get back into it and I've got my eye on an '06 VTX 1300C.

My first question is about handlebars. I don't particularly like the feel of drag bars, but I really like bars with some pullback. Can anyone suggest a good brand/model?

Next, what about forward controls? I'm 6'3 and am definitely going to want to push the pegs out a little farther. I was thinking about the Jardine forward controls. Any thoughts?

I'm sure I'll have more questions as time goes on, but for now that'll do it.

Thanks,
Eric

You can put the R bars and risers on the C no problem. Get the R cables as well.
Accutronics seem to be the controls of choice.

"German helmet looking fenders" Hahahahaha
Carefull - some X'rs are way too easily offended.
