oh my bike. they are just a standard 11/4 t bar with pull back. they were on it when I got it, not sure of brand. burly Australia make similar ones, but I'm sure even drag specialties would make them.
I was thinking of 11/2 or 13/4 would be cool, but I feel 2 inch is too big.

Nice looking bike BTW

Thanks

I can't answer that, they came with the bike when I bought it.

The swingarm is being made at Backbone Built Bikes, it will allow the back to go down alot lower. The front I went with 2" under tubes. The lightbar cross piece will need to be cutt off and spun sideways if the makes sense. That will get my headlight to sit just about on the fender.

Parts are trickling in as most are custom made.

I follow BBB on instagram but i don't want to ask how much their layframe are coz i know it would be too rich for me. I thought you will modify/cut your current frame like some people did to make it look stock. Looking forward for the build.

It's been going slow, parts are taking a little longer to get. As of right now the swingarm is off and the rear air ride shocks are in. The frontend is together, however the springs will need to be cut down once the rear end gets put togrther.

I'm hoping now that Daytona is done I'll start getting my parts.
