7k miles just fine. did you pay that much cuz it says RSD on it? Plenty of not so well know builders make bars just like 'em for half the price. You could buy two things for you bike instead of one. I'm not knockin ya just my feelins. If you can buy it cheap and modify or build it even better. To quote Tommy boy. "I can take a dump in a box and guarentee it it but all your gettin is a guarenteed pile o' ****." Or am i wrong?

LOL NICE Tommyboy reference

I agree though there are a ton of handlebar manufacturers out there. Hell BTcustoms (i think) will even customize size etc of their bars for you and you can get them raw to powdercoat yourself.

Dont get me wrong, I like Yaffe's stuff- have his monkeybars on my roadglide. And bars are a definite preference.

Just look around for what you want.
