Great decision... Those narrow bars looked like $hit.... Wider bars make the front end look alot wider and flow better... I went with BurlyBrand because they are nice and wide just like the bars you just purchased.. They stick past on both sides+++....

Narrow bars look great on narrow bikes .. like a sportster.. ect.

Once again great choice!

The Buffalo Bars look 100% better. 33 1/2" of width is just not enough for a set of apes.

Thanks for the great responses. Despite the last three, the Paughco's are winning the poll.

Yeah, I'm starting to feel that way too.
Whats crazy funny is the side banner that keeps popping up every third or forth time I reload this thread. Its a JP Cycles add for the exact same 14 inch Paughco Standard bars in question. Now thats some on point marketing. A little late as they are already in my garage, but ironic none the less.

Some people just don't have any class. We have to excuse those kind of people. It's not their fault, it was breed into them.

Ouch!
Guess it's true, tho. The compliment I get the most is, "nice seat".
I like the hell out of it and that's what matters the most, I reckon.
