I want a recording of a ride by, so we can hear it roar.

Ride safe, Ted

Do you have the stock handle bars on your bike?
The bars on mine have been change to straight and level with the forks. I'm sure the previous owner did that to make you lean down behind the wind shield in a true racer position.

But it is a real pain to ride.  I have to lean forward to reach them and  it is very uncomfortable.  I cant ride for more that 30 minutes then my back gives out.

are you looking for stock C10 bars?  I think I have some and may have risers too.

OOPS !. I should have asked here first but I just bought some off ebay. Came to $48.00.
I thought about swapping out with my other C10 but then it would be uncomfortable to ride. 

Actually I am thinking of selling my other C10 and keeping this one. Since I lowered it, it is a little easier for me to handle. I can actually do a U-turn without stopping with this one. The  other one I have to tiptoe and walk it through a U-turn. Maybe if I lowered it too then I would have two keepers.  I have 4 bikes sitting here and my wife is wanting me to downsize. It's hard to decide what to keep.
 
If you have risers can you post a photo?

Are you deciding between the bikes or the wife?   :)
