Default Bent these bars up yesterday!

I got real tired of searching and searching for springer bars with 4 3/4 centers that looked the way i wanted. So i bent these up yesterday out of 1" .095 wall chromoly. right now the measure about 2" rise, 10.25" pull back and 34.5 wide. Thinking about powder coating them black. black PM grips, chrome switch housing, levers and master cylinder. should look cool. inspiration were Klockwerks mentele bars. check em out let me know what you think.... I think im going to cut about an inch more off the pull back
