AND you have to be willing to wait 4 to 6 months for them regardless of what you are told when you place the order.
Actually, my bars only took about 8 weeks start to finish and one guy on here got his even a lot sooner than that for what it's worth.

I think BR has changed some of his processes to speed things up for his shop. I know he has stopped making certain types of bars that he offered in the past. I bought a set of BR bars about a year ago and they built them to my exact specs and they are good quality bars. they did take forever to get done. I believe mine took about 4 months to make but they are different than any other set of bars out there
