Default Nash gimps?

I'm thinking about putting gimps on my night train. I'm not sure what risers to go with. Any pictures of your bike with gimps would be much appreciated. Also...I hear there is quite a long wait for the Nash bars. Has anyone had a bad experience with them? Thanks!

I have had 16" gimps on my dyna and have a set of 18" pudgy gimps that I recently took off my Softail. Loved them, sorry no pics. Will sell the pusgy gimps cheap though.

Something to keep in mind is that I do not think the Gimps are knurled. I love the way they look.

Not knurled. Cool bars, I got em. Prepare to wait for them though. They took forever to ship them once paid. That was two years ago, so maybe they tightened things up a bit? As far as risers go, get what you like.

I love mine but everyone is right no knurling on them so either pin them or clamp piece of emery cloth/sandpaper in there to hold then tight. They are getting much better on the turnaround times I think they got a new powder coater that used to be their biggest problem. I got mine in only a couple of weeks after I ordered.

I had the Nash Grits on my sportster .Like mentioned no knurling,great looking bars but I waited over two months for mine.But that was almost two yrs ago.May be turn around time is better now.Wild One chubbys Outlawz look similar,have knurling and seem to be top quality as well.Most likley no long wait time either.
