    Not a big fan of the buckhorns on the bike...will a flatter bar(Seca 650?)
    work without risers? The clubmans I've seen are way to low and forward for my taste, still want to sit more upright.
    Any suggs would be appreciated.

    I had a set of seca bars on my maxim - worked great. You will either need the shorter control cables, or re-route as I did. Also the mirror mounts on the maxim controls are slanted to counter the bend in the bars... this will tip the mirrors inward a bit on the flatter seca bars - making it REALLY hard to use your mirrors.

    If you could source flatter controls you'd be better off grabbing them along with the seca bars.
