Default nikonf8's handle bars
My internet is beginning to smoke from all of the handle bar pages I've visited. Does anyone happen to know which bars Nikonf8 has mounted?

I am almost 100% certain he is running the 1.25" Burly Cruiser Bars.

Going by his join date and post count, I'd guess he isn't able to send a PM off to nikonf8 yet.

My bad, didn't know there was a post limit for pm's, thought that only applied to pics and classifieds. Sorry Shaun!

Yeah, I think Malingerers right, I seem to remember him saying they were beach bars but they weren't the full on widest ones.

I'm sure they are the 36" Burly Classic Bars? He stated himself in American Iron they are Burly Beach Bars but not their exact name, I'm sure he'll soon notice this thread & be able to put us all to right! If not, make a few more posts & you'll be able to PM him.

I remember him saying the Burly classic bars as well. I just found the thread where he says Burly classic bars. BUT if you look at the pics of his bike in his album. Then the pics of the bars on Burly's site. The bars on his bike look nothing like the Burly Classics.

The Burly Classics only have a 1 " rise. They look almost like a flat Drag bar with a small bend. Nikon's bars def. has more rise than 1". There are 3 bars in that Burly section, The Knuckle,Cruiser,Classic. His bars look least like the Classics to me. I would even go Knuckle before the Classics.

I am normally not hard headed at all. And I'm sure he knows what bars he has.So my apologies in advance. But I just cant see them being the Classic Bars unless the names are screwed up on the Burly site.
