Default Choppers Inc bars

Is anyone running a set of bars like Choppers Inc Whiskey or Prison bars? I was looking at a set for my Night Train and was wondering how people liked them or a style similar to them.

Other people make bars like his, I didn't say I wanted his bars exactly, just a similar style.

Exclamation

He asked your opinion on a set of bars! I did not here him ask your opinion on Billy Lane, did you?
With that said, Bgibbster, you will be better off buying what YOU like. Relying on everyone elses opinion to buy parts for your bike is just plain silly. When you "customize" your bike, it can also be called "making it your own", not "pleasing the masses".
Good luck, and the rest of you need to get a life. Billy was drunk, the guy he hit was drunk....the courts are handling it. If you don't wanna buy his stuff, don't. Big friggin' deal. I'm glad you guys are all so perfect.

Then take your own advice and if your not giving an opinion on the bars then **** off and peddle your tripe elsewhere.
He asked about bars sold by Lane's biz and the opinion I gave him was that I wouldn't buy bars or anything else from Choppers inc.

I have not seen the bars he is asking about. If I had, I would have posted an imformed opinion. I did post my informed opinion on what you and some others said on this thread. So maybe you should "**** off and peddle your tripe" on the threads that have already beat the subject of Billy Lane into the dirt!

Do his designs and style of bike building have anything to do with his legal issues? No. Enjoy your frozen tundra.
