Another I can't make up my own mind thread
I can't decide what to do for handle bars on my Street bob. This is where I am thoughts wise.
I want something narrower than the 34.25" stock ones, I don't mind the hand positions of the stockers but could usefully have something with less droop and sweep.
I ride my bike pretty hard a lot of the time and have performance in mind.
I ride my bike for long stretches of motorway at high speed.
I don't do a lot of wheelies so a super high bar isn't that necessary.
I'm going to the US soon and would like to get some bars from Craig http://stores.ebay.co.uk/frontstcycle
I'd prefer to not mess about with my stock cables and brake lines for now.
I like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FRONT-STRE...-/172240260419
and http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FRONT-STRE...-/172249494410
and http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FRONT-STRE...-/172273677600
My concern is how the skinny risers would look with the fat fork tunes on the later Dynas.
I also love the look of the Tramp Cycles bikes with the fatter risers
http://www.trampcycle.com/gallery/cu.../03/index.html
Which would give me more options to mess about in the future (but is far less trick) black risers with brushed stainless bars (much wider than these though)

My vote goes for something else.
You can buy stock Wide Glide bars for cheap.
Even better, get some stock Low Rider handlebars with the Low Rider risers. The advantage of them is they are adjustable and cheap.

I've got on '08 Street Bob that had the stock 12" mini-apes on it, and when I changed to the RSD Vintage Short Stacks it made a world of difference. Feels so much better now.

Just before I found the RSD's (from a forum member) I bought a set of Biltwell Keystones from another forum member. Never mounted them since I had been lusting after the RSD's for quite some time. If you're interested in these, I'll make you a good deal...

And, yet, on the other hand...before I found those two sets of bars on the forum...I was most likely going to order something from this guy. Lotsa cool stuff...

So...if you can't tell...I feel your pain on the "can't make up my on mind" thing. And I'm sure I've just added to the dilemma. Just tryin' to do my part...

BTW - the set of Zombie Performance bars that I was most likely going to go with would've been a lot like the Trampcycle bars...except the Zombie's have a billeted riser allowing for adjustment. The home page of the website has a picture of them...top/right of the page. I love those bars.
