I love the old school look of the gimps (deffintely my next mod once I have the cash) but its all a matter of taste. However, looking at the dimensions on both websites the Road6customs bars are supposedly an inch narrower across the base at 9.5" than the gimps which are 10.5" so you might not like them either...

I actually ended up with nash midget gimps so they are narrower than the regular gimps. I really like those hogrida bars, I may look a little bit more into those.

Ah ok yeah the midgets are the same width as the Road6customs so you prolly should forget those too and just go for the Hogrida bars or, get a set of the original gimps lol!

What height midgets did you get? I might be interested

I was in the same boat. I wanted my bars to follow the same lines as the fork tubes. I also wanted them to curve forward instead of angle forward like a BMX bike. So I custom made them to the same width as the tubes and rotated the uprights so they follow the upward angle of the forks and then flare forward. If I did it again I'd make the hand position narrower and flare them forward even more.

My only comment is that I have bought from them twice on ebay and they are straight up. Shipped fast and good communication.
