Howdy Folks!!
I am feeling a tad cramped on my '12 Speedy. Looking for new handlebars that will let me stretch out a bit. I have searched for a few days, but have been unable to find some that are 1" thick, chrome, 29" wide, with 2 - 3 inch pullback. OH, need to be Drag Bars, like what is already on the Speedy. Anyone know of a source that makes a set with those specs?

Searching Google for '1" chrome 29" wide drag bars' brought about 400,000 hits , so you may assume there is a close match to what you seek out there somewhere. I run Jardine solid billet drag bars with 8" pullback risers and they almost exactly match your specs, but they are 7 years out of production and I'm not selling mine anytime soon.

Well, I finally ordered and received some 31" wide, 4" pullback handlebars from J&P. Now the next issue - Removing the KUry Iso-grip from the left side. the Iso-grips have a hard plastic framing, so I am concerned about breaking it when I remove the grip. Anyone found a non-damaging way to remove them?

Yuup! Hairspray worked like a charm. Got my new bars on, and had a few extra minutes so I went ahead and installed the JPR Performance brake and clutch levers that I've had for a bit.
