Default road6customs bars

Well I put a set of nash gimps on and I really don't care for them much, I am rally diggin the road6 bars on ebay, prolly have um built without the gusset. any comments on them? good, bad, ugly? I thought the gimps were the **** but my 09 streetbob that has the 49mm tubes and the bars just dont look right. so I am needing something wider. any other suggestions? o and I will prolly go 14 or 16 tall.

What do you mean by wider? Wider at the base? Wider at the hands? Thicker diameter tubing?

sig pic shows the width of road6customs. 8" tall and 9 1/2wide at bottom of uprights. Many other makes have no gussets. Most makers give height, width and pullback dimensions.

I got 12.5" Wild1 Chubby apes, so they are thicker, and I like the wider appart grips and the pull back on these bars.... night and day improvement over stock...

Also even though they the Thick bars, with the wireing internal they don't look it.

those road six bars are gankster, and i already contacted him about leaving the gussets out, he said they are mostly for look. my nash bars would look great on a sporty, or a older dyna with the 39mm tubes. hey are just not wide enough, they don't even come even with the forks, they are a inch short on both sides.
