Would love some caveat on bars for people with hand and wrist issues. Any exceptions like Flexx bars, knock offs, special compound bars, sweep, etc for hand pump, carpal tunnel, etc?
There's an acception to any standard. My stock bars were are are low on the TU250x. It's a small bike only weighing 328 fully soaked and already in a standard position. I also have knobbies and have 100% control of the bike and already leaning after moving up to atv bars with a 5 inch rise.(OEM 2.5inch) I only switched the bars yesterday, but have ridden with them during the day, and night, and can say that I'm 100% comfortable and leaning doing tight circles, emergency stops, u turns from stops, and the sweep of these particular bars keep me from sitting like I'm on a vespa. Still aggressive, but hands also just at the bottom of my pecs and relaxed. In a twist of irony, most guys in the TUx facebook groups/forum posts are taller guys looking for the same type of bars, while I'm only 5'6" but longer in the legs. No rotation of the OEM bars offered any relief. On top of the scrambler look, and feel, bicycle, and dirtbike bars, are my norm especially with back issues the last few decades. It does feel much more top heavy, but nothing drastic because of the size of the bike. Im still using my body to move the bike but now there is actually an extra boost in steering sitting more upright, and not cramped with my shoulders engaged.
While it is true , that at ramming speeds (😅) (20 + for example) you're actually steering the opposite of how you might think you are, you're lean steering, leg steering and counter-steering, if under certain circumstances you are in C-S mode mainly, and if 'get' what that is about, it can be a fantastic tool in your toolbox. At 1 to 8 mph + - , you are 'Tricycle Steering' , as the rider in the middle was thinking.. This just appears to be a subject he's not been exposed to.He has likely always done all this correctly, didn't realize what was actually going on, just wasn't aware of the actual physics. No surprise, half of street and dirt riders out there don't know as well, and for them , it can cause serious injury , especially on the street.. 'Counter Steering'
Do they not realize that Johnny Campbell is the only one we want advice from?

Let the pro talk, don’t over explain. Fit, form, function, comfort, and style by discipline. And most importantly by ability..
Hard to babe elbows up when your arms have to go straight down to your bars
would love to hear these guys stop talking and let Johnny talk. Blah blah blah, the only insightful thing I heard was from the pro rider.
Really agree !! 😅
Google Jimmy Lewis
what if your're 6'4" and stand up a lot ?
