lol. I went and googled hacksaw productions. lol dummy.


well I have thought of that and my deal is this. i would like dimpled because if i cut the broomstick bar so it can except stock controls, then the bar will rust.

maybe i cut one down and then get it powder coated black?

any suggestions




maybe these knurled and dimpled 26" B4's

sportster bars are narrow to start with. about 28-29 wide. The dimples are close to the bend so you can hack quite a bit off the ends. Mine are 26 wide now and feel perfect.

There is a reason that ice cream comes in chocolate, vanilla and strawberry.

I like the tall risers but I would go with drag bars.

not a big fan of "broom sticks" .... they put unnatural strain on the wrists.
Any other bars will have some pull-back and are much more comfortable.
