Default Nightster Handlebars Mounted on Fork

Just curious.....

I think a lot of us have seen the amazing Deus Cafe Racer. Anyone ever seen anywhere else the same handlebar setup where they are mounted right to the fork? Where can you get something like this?

Here's what I'm talking about:

Nope. 39mm = 1.5354331 inch. Not even close to 1 inch. 1 inch = 25.4mm

Oh, wait, I see... you're saying 39mm fork tubes and 1 inch handlebars. Got it. Your shorthand was perhaps a bit too short. Either that, or I'm reading too much into ****...

which is why you shouldn't do business with licks. they charge too much for everything. so much for garage-built back-street grass-roots.

check ebay i've sen em for $99. or go to a machine shop and see what it'd cost to have brackets milled at least you'd KNOW they're american made. shouldn't be expensive. show em a pic and give them 39mm / 1 inch / some degree of down-turn.
