I'm new to Buell, My other is 06 FLH with 30k miles, now i'm playing on 99 S3. the riding position is much more agressive than i'm used to. the handlebars and soooo close to the tank and my knuckles hit the fairing at slow speed manuvers.
Is there a minor handlebar change that won't require faring cut?

S3T bars are about 1-1/2" taller.

Yeah.Jramsey has the answer.
I have a '99 S3T. No problem hitting the fairing or tank. Riding position is comfortable too.

Or you can try the Blast bars they are the same as the S3T's. And the wires and cables will work fine.

You might try posting to the "Ergonomics" section. This is the "Troubleshooting" topic.

It is kinda troubleshooting. Aw heck who cares cause I'm leaving for Sturgis in an hour or 2. I am taking my Son for his first Sturgis ride cause he just bought a bike. See ya on Main Street. All bikes are good as long as you like them. (or afford them).
