Dude, share the name of the company that made those POS so we all know who to stay away from.
Yeah, who made those bars?

Never heard a single good thing about Demon Cycles. Seen a few of their ads and the stuff looked pretty cheap.
dude said in another thread that he bought the bars at ACM. I'm sure ACM, Demons etc get their parts from some of the same distros
you guys realize that they don't make their own stuff, right? Demons Cycle doesn't make parts, neither does ACM. Well they might make some but unlikely.
Demon Cycle is in Florida, my bars have a made in China stamp, so imported bars is a possibility. However, Dawg Hamilton has been running the same bars for over a year without problems. I am to cheap to buy another set, so I guess I will have to see. Assuming I ever save enough money to buy risers and cables.

glad you didn't get hurt, dude.
ACM sells some name brand stuff though, like Burly, Flanders, etc., so it would be nice to know the actual brand he purchased. Obviously this wouldn't be the fault of ACM, as they must have appeared decent enough at the time he mounted them.
thanks y'all goter home safe
rualarmed inspect the bars are yours all 1 1/4"
or tapered in riser area / grip area?
mine were 1 1/4" tapered to 1" at riser area and grip area
i also ran 16"s that really shouldn't matter
br custom bars are on the way live and you learn
paid 19,000 for bike 100 bucks on cheap *** bars
never again

correct not ACM but vtwin 30 day warranty
go wipe yer **** w/ that warranty
wow, its the Chinese. Their tryin to pick us off. Good thing you made it home safe! Was the break contained inside the risers? I would beg the question of "if they did neck the bars down for the grips and risers, what kind of wall thickness did they leave on the necked part. Its amazing that some companies for instance will "stretch" their metal extrusions which results in a varying wall thickness but leaves just a hair more metal in the pot for the next push which has surprising effects on the money to be made. Come to think about it, last batch I saw like that WAS imported. Not trying to imply that you are a victim of the "slimming" effect, but it would be interesting to know what kinda MEAT they left there for you to hang your life on." Even though my front wheel says Indonesia, and my rear says Japan - Im going to buy American bars. Which brings me to my next point - WTF is up with all these international stamps all over our Harleys??? Maybe im just "ignant" - in a Michael Jackson voice ( haha hopefully someone will get that ) Sorry for simi jackin your thread man.
