Default Night Train 1" Diameter 16" Apes Help!

Looking to put 16" Apes on my 08 Night Train. Having a time trying to find them in 1" diameter. Only found them made so far by a company Paughco. Is there anyone else out there who makes them? Want them in black, I know I can get them powder coated locally, just would like to save. Is there a reason most of the big companies do not make them in 1". Only thing I can think of is bar flex. Also, is a $45.00 bar good/safe?

damn, if you can't find 1" bars, you really aren't trying hard enough. yes, the trend is for thicker bars, but most of the companies still make the traditional 1" bars. i have 16" bars made by nash. (check out my pics) these are 1" and came powdercoated black. you might save a buck or two by having your local shop do it, for you.

yes, paughco, nash, flanders, wild 1's and almost any of the companies out of the big books (jp, dennis kirk, etc). good luck and let us know what you decide.

grimm,
Thanks! The Nash smart gimps are sweet and come satin blk powder coated. I like the bend in on the up on the 16".

timvan,
You too could ride more than 3 miles if that Bourget did not eat belts and spit brake pads.

Sorry about the small pic. My sig pic is with 1 1/4" Buffalo Bars from DS. I like the 1" much better.
