Default Anyone make handlebars?

Does anyone know someone who makes handlebars to spec? I can't find the kind of handlebars that I want anywhere. What I want is some Z bar handlebars where the handle area is on the same plane as the rest of the bars, not bent back like all the others. Any ideas?

I can make you a set. 4130 or 1010. I like 4130-it's stronger/lighter and can be used thinner so it gives you more room for internal wires. I need a drawing with measurements of what you want. Looking at about $110 with shipping to the US. This is a raw bar-can do coatings if ya' want.

Hi Trotter, that's a good site! Those bars are close to what I'm looking for. The only problem with them is that they aren't made for OEM controls. I'll keep looking, though. Thanks!

No, not the pullback. On yours, where the controls are, the angle is about 20 degrees. What I would like is 0 degrees of angle. In other words, straight across. For me, that is more comfortable than having my wrists turned out.

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. The handlebars are dimpled where the wires come out of the handcontrols to make them fit better.
