Default Speedster bars on 05 Sportster L

I don't have springers, so it would go on the stock 05, is this a good idea? I really like the looks on this one, but not sure how it would look on stock forks.

looking for these bars but for stock 05 sporty L

If anyone could point me to photos or bars that would be very helpful. Also if you have springers in the UK and wanna sell, am game.

cheers!

Those are just beach bars man. Harley makes a neat Narrow Beach bar you can just get from your dealership.

There you go.

I've always loved bars that not many people use. Had some awesome Biltwell Four Aces, which aren't made anymore

Have a look at: http://zombieperformance.bigcartel.c...dlebars?page=6

And https://www.biltwellinc.com/c1/buy/handlebars/

I've also found http://thespeedmerchant.net/product/1-speedbar-black/ which I'm pretty sure not many people have.

Have fun planning!

Thanks dude, this photos are a massive help, glad we share the same taste, really digging this look, now it's just a matter of finding the right bar, think I want something higher, at 10" rise! Am worried about clearance, look at this picture, does that not look too close to the tank?

Nah, there's plenty of space.

Have you looked at the Hollywood Bar?

yeah, but not a fan of the crossbar on the hollywood

This one at Height: 5", Pullback: 9.5" and Width: 33.5" is pretty close and I could chop the ends, the shape is almost there.

here's the one that inspired me in the first place, check those angles!



US$38 is ridiculous! you guys got it sweet over there! Here in the UK i'll be lucky to get anything under 100 quid

Will look into it with more time when i get home, it's getting there! thanks for your help man

pretty stacked here! had no time to look into anything, but the more i look into springer forks more i get into the idea. hope i can stop and have a good look and try to estimate how much would it cost to go with springer forks.
