Thanks guys for all the comments, If you guys want to do what Jay did, I would consider Road 6 bars, half the price of RSD and very good quality.
Goats, if you go to hardtailchoppers.com call and speak to John, he has the "D" notched inserts that he uses to create his bars.

Bars look good, like the style. I wanted to keep the blackline stock look by keeping two individual bars, it really limits the choices of bars though because they cant be tilted forward. If anyone else wants to go that route make sure you measure twice and buy bars once. I like the road 6 products I have the side mount plate bracket good looking stuff.

thanks for the tip about the inserts arty.
i must say i am tempted to bend up some bars myself as we have a bender at work.
@ volksman did you need to change any cables to go with the harley pullback bars ?

have been working on an ape design that the horizontal lower tube will curve around the speedo, while using pretty much any single post bar riser. I will post some pics of the design soon. If you have any ideas you would like to imcorperate into the bars feel free to say something.

I got bars from hardtail choppers with said inserts on them and they didnt fit in the tree right and moved around no matter how tight I made em. Idk if this was ever corrected but I got the 16" highballs from australian burleigh bars. They are significantly more expensive and need to be shipped from au but they r very well made, wont move around at all. I had to do the job twice cuz I got the hardtail dukes. Extreme pain in the *** plus the burleigh bars are stainless.
