I really appreciate all then input from you guys. I'm thinkin i'm gonna prolly end up with the risers n bar. Mostly cause of money, but i think the adjustability factor is worth it also. Dont really wanna put the speedo on top but with a gauge mount, i should be able to put it where ever i want.
Sorry for the thread jack but does anyone know who makes the inverted V-bars? They look like T-bars but instead of a T they are an upside down wide spread V. (I'm looking for black)
Chad Peterson (user name)has them. I saw them in the pic of his bike on his post in Club style/Thug style Dyna Pic's thread (1st pg. 9th post).

To the OP, we can make you a bar in any configuration, width, pullback, etc at a very reasonable cost. Forum members get a 15% discount, (coupon code HDF03 at checkout)

My experience was exactly the opposite, but I went with pro taper bars which are much stiffer/stronger that any Harley specific bars. Changing to a harder riser bushing is a must due to the increased leverage on the bars. I ran 10" Tbars before I went to the pro taper set up and the adjustability alone was worth the cost.
Thanks

The ones I am interested in come to a sharp point (welded?)in the V and are black.
The ones in the pic you posted are close, except they are chrome and the point of the V is slightly curved (mandrel bent?).
I will google "preying mantis" bars and send Chad a PM.
Thanks!
EDIT: well, I googled it and couldn't find them but I did find this good pic!

Sorry Vermonster, my posting didn't come across right. When I said praying mantis I was referring to the bars linked to by hdcustomfab. They remind me of a praying mantis.
The bars you want are simply called "V-bars".
The pic I posted is from Noise Cycles. (rounded bent front)
Chad's bars are actually from West Coast T-Bars. They are an older model called "V-bars" which they don't show on their site anymore. I would bet you can still get some if you called the West Coast guys and asked to have a set made for you.

Sorry for the confusion. I hope you can get the bars you want.
