I'm not sure on the handle bars. I'll look around and see if I see a brand on them. The previous owner put a lot of Arlen Ness on it, so maybe Arlen Ness. For me they sit nicely. They are drag bars but pull back a little.

The wheels are Performance Machine Revel. Those are from the previous owner, and I'm sure he spent a pretty penny on them. The brake rotors and the sprocket match the wheels.

The Arlen Ness mirrors that were on it were useless (couldn't see anything behind me). I got Harley long stem mirrors, but I don't think they are going to work either. I'm thinking about going with Kuryakyn Hex Mirrors. Right now I have to fold in my elbows when trying to see behind me. Does anybody have recommendations on mirrors? The Hex mirrors are supposed to extend out an extra inch. I don't love big mirrors, but I gotta see too. I've always loved Harley's Profile mirrors, but I'm not even sure if they'll come out enough. I would like to stick with black mirrors. I'm open for suggestions on mirrors.

HKMark23 I've always loved the Linbar, but was afraid it would get in the way of my feet. They look tough.

If possible, get a better pic of how they are mounted. I would love to find a set like those. Might make longer rides possible. Again, beautiful bike.

Thats a chronic problem on BO's too, even with the big OEM mirrors. I got around it when I switched to apes but you surely don't wish to lose those classy bars.

Some guys reverse mount their mirrors so they hang beneath the grips / bars. Might this work ?

Bars look like they are Burleigh Bars from Australia.
