Default Any Cheap Bars Like New Wide Glides?

Hey guys I like the look of the new wide glides bars but not looking to spend a ton on them. Is there any cheap alternatives? Is it me or don't they look like west coast choppers super duper bars? Not that those would be cheap 

If you're looking for the same shape and rough dimensions, look at either Superbars or Bad Boy bars. You can find both in 1" size pretty easily, 1 1/4" is a little harder and more expensive. There are some on the market that are 1 1/4" in the riser area as well, but they cost about the same as the Wide Glide bars.

Are the new WG bars 1 1/4" not 1" bars? And that's a 5" riser right? Thanks for the info!

WG bars are 1.25 at the risers and all the way to the grips and 1" at the grips. Buy me a Flanders broomstick bar and ill send you my stockers lol.
