Default Going nuts here!!!!!!!

Okay I am driving myself nuts here. I know I want to tear my bike down for maybe paint and lower it. BUT I want to do something different with my bars. I know it is my decision but I cannot decide between the Nash black grit hangers (http://www.nashmotorcycle.com/index....s/grit-hangers) or some beach bars. Someone needs to persuade me. Also do you guys know if our stock risers will work with the 1 inch nash bars?

Checked the site you posted...
They sell those bars in both 1" and 7/8", if that answers your q.

Yeah. I thought I remember reading somewhere that there bars are smooth without knurls and you need to buy their expensive risers that are knurled or something. I think I will ask the guys who made them. Anyway just ranting this morning.

Actually looked at the site more and there are plenty of bikes in the pics running stock risers.

beach bars! everyone is going to apes, and I've always liked beach bars better. Have ridden some bikes with them, and they're comfortable and it's a more natural position.

I hate the stock Beach bars on my RKC (though I've heard they aren't true beach bars) because the angle my hands are at makes it a real workout to hang on at speed without a windshield.

Just a thought
