Check out Phat Parformance Parts, JP Cycles or the HD site. How much pullback are you looking for?

I got my bars from Paughco. You might check them out as they're pretty reasonable and are good quality.

Ya know...depending on how straight you want em......

Home Depot or lowes, 1" steel tubing.....drill for internal wiring......hmmm? lol

You can also use a piple bender to get the EXACT pullback you want.

And then, you paint them black, ceramic works best for paint and clear...it'll bake to near powder coat hardness...

All for about 20 bucks...maybe even less.

Drags, Broomsticks, or Z bars look best on the nightster to me as long as their black
