Arlen Ness 8in modular drag bars
I have an 06 night train. I am looking at changing the bars. I am considering Arlen Ness 8in modular drag bars. Just wondering if anyone has used them. Like or dislikes? Not sure if they are worth the $450.

You might want to look at the product before making that blanket statement. I'm not saying they are worth $450, but they are much more than a typical welded together drag bar.
To the OP, I have never seen them on here yet, but they look cool. I would be nervous about them somehow coming loose while riding.

I'm putting 12" on my FLSTFB this week and the below shows the 8" on a build. The clamp is serious and I don't expect them to come loose. Being able to pull the bar apart makes running the wires much faster IMO. I agree they are pricey and maybe why you don't see people lining up to buy them...I went for them due to the adjustment and not being stuck with one angle.

Add another $50 in Loctite too 
Seriously though, they are nice bars, stray from the norm. I say get them, they would look awesome on a train.
