Default Need some opinions

Hi all. Im kicking around the idea of putting on the Roland Sands Vintage short stack bars on the NT, black of course with his 1 1/2" risers. I really like the drag bars, but I think these bars look pretty sweet. Any ideas or opinions out there ?
Thanks in advance for the replies, going ridin'

The pic is from his web site.

They are sick. I think a member Nixon Who might have something similar looking to those on his night train. I could be wrong. They are nice and different. Probably pricey as hell with that named attached to it. Go for it man.

Rob, PM forum member Tx_Outlaw. I'm pretty sure that's what he's running on his NT.

again with what tomhummer said, i have done a lot of things to my bike, engraved personal pieces, one of a kind pieces and so on and so on. rarely does some one tell me they like my bike. of course that makes me smile whne the do, but i did, and do, what i like. after all im paying for it and im the one riding it. you open a big door when you ask for some ones opinion on a cosmetic detail, color, which fender, which bars and so on. i have a neighbor whos bike i think looks plain as can be, but hes thrilled with it and thats all that counts. do what you like and to hell with everyone else. oh yeah = ride.

Definitely a different look. One of the best things about a Harley in general and a NT in particular is that they start out as a clean sheet and every one can be different and made just to please you. If you dig 'em thats the only thing that counts. Go ahead and stimulate the economy.

I have them on my nightster. Trust me, they ain't cheap and they don't look cheap either. Very good quality...

Not an NT, but you get the idea...
