I personally like the OEM Triumph engine dresser bars. You can find a little better price than off the Triumph site with a little seaching. I think MAWs was where I got mine. The look of the wider and bigger bars are too big for my taste. I did drop my bike at low speed  With the low speed the OEM ones did their job. The left one did bend, but at the same time it gave before breaking the cast engine mount. IMHO, it is more of what one would like on the bike. We all have somewhat different tastes and ideas of what looks good, or provdes the best protection.

Maybe they are $160 in the US, but in the UK they are $302! Not only that but they are now pricing them in $'S not in £'s!!

style aside, I'd be willing to bet the BC chrome will be better.

I've had 'em both, and I prefer the ones from Bellacorse. I am making my BA a dresser, so that might have something to do with my choice! The Triumph ones feel a little more rigid.

Personally I think the bellacourse ones look boxy... the sort of thing you'd expect to find if volvo made motorcycles :P They also attach at the top using only the horn mounting bolt which seems a very flimsy point to support most of the bike's weight on... think they're more about having bars on than saving your tank/knee.

Al,
Also, the Triumph bars bolt to the frame at the top and to the long engine mount bolt at the bottom.
