Default Other uses for old sets of handlebars??

I have a couple of sets of handlebars that came off my bikes. I would like to display/use them in my man cave somehow. Was wondering if anyone else has done something different with them.
Thanks.

I have an old set of handle bars a nd an old seat. I was thinking of making a go kart, non motorized, for my daughter.

I am in the process of using a old set of bars & risers and a old peanut tank... going to mount all that on a piece of oak ...and will add a clock to it for my man cave.

Mount them to your riding mower.

I had a set I kept for 20 years. Ended up going on a Norton that I bought for a project. Never thought I would need them.

could do a piece of work like a deer head, or cattle skull mounted on the wall. Use the bars for horns, old tank for the head. dress it with other bike stuff for eyes, nose. little custom paint.

Mount them in front of your computer screen, so you can be a REAL keyboard biker!

Upside down on shop wall they are perfect to coil air hose.

Then there's the old "make a lamp out of 'em" idea.
