It's actually more comfortable than it looks.
Turning is touchy with a slight tendency to feel like it wants to "flop" side to side, but does not. Hoping I'll just get used to that feeling and it will be a bit more of a relaxing ride for me haha
Thinking of taking the top bar to the local fab/weld shop and seeing about getting a full ring made. I could wrap with bar tape all the way round and not even have to get it chromed.

That was/is my original hope. The ability to actually lean forward with my forearms on it like a regular steering wheel. It's a scary feeling now... pretty sure it has more to do with the springer front end than the bars tho
Found out if I grip right where the bars meet( 9 and 3o clock lol), I can still stand up and pedal uphill
