QuantumSchema,

Thanks for the comment.

The bars are Norman Hyde M Bars. I've had them a couple of years now and I really like the ride...not for everyone, but I like them. They were also an easy swap...a little re-routing of e cables and everything works great. I also ran the wiring internal to the bars to clean things up a bit.

Cheers,
Steven

Thanks for the notes Steven!

Since you went through the bar swap already and probably did what I did with going through all the bars, did you give any though to the Biltwell Tracker bars?

Right now I've kind of narrowed it down to the M bars and the Trackers. I'm curious what your thoughts were if you went down this road.

Also, with the M bars, did you get plugged or un-plugged?

Thanks!
Louis

I just checked...the M Bars are the ones with Plugs, but I don't remember a choice...Not sure that it would matter in my application.

For me, I liked the way the M Bars looked and went that path...I had been thinking about different set ups for this bike and considered the extremes, including Ape Hangers. In the end, I went with the M Bars because of the overall vision that I had for the bike and the more aggressive stance. I have not been disappointed at all in the set up.

Hope this helps a bit,
Steven

I wanted to put a couple of my favorite and most inspirational bikes back on page 1. I hope those who are customizing their bikes appreciate these as much as I do
