nice1 lads, 1 thing I don't get with cruisers is the bars, why are they so small, big wheels..big frame and forks...tiny stupid bars, doesn't make sense to me, that's why I went with the pro bars..and when you ride it it feels so right

and Stu um bongo :LolLolLolLol:

That is one sweet looking ride Gaz nice one.
I think the smaller bars on a cruiser is about lowering the centre of gravity geometry wise,
Although the bikes have bigger forks & wheels putting smaller bars on puts the centre somewhere near that of a 20" with pro bars , , making the cruiser more responsive & easier to handle on the track.
I think this was also the reason for the invention of the inverted stem too.
