The bike looks and sounds great! I'm sure it's not the most comfortable ride. I'll stick with my drags and 4" curve risers.

i love the 3/4 and rear view but something about it when you look head on that doesn't tickle me fancy. as long as you like it though that's all that matters. i'm actually thinking of going to a drag bar myself but undecided. what drags were you running before the swap slackster? i love watching you mod this bike of yours. def. one of the coolest sportsters i've seen.

I would think your wrists would get worked after a while. The sweep angle of the bars is ergonomically "normal"(lack of a better word) in the upright position. Flipping them upside down, moves the bar ends to a position that makes you **** your wrists at an odd angle. This in turn is what leads to numbing and arm pump etc...

Looks kind of cool but IMO a set of clip-ons or clubmans would be better.

At first glance, I thought it looked kind of like a water buffalo. If your back can take it I would stick with it....JMFUO!

Slackster, I have said it before, you have one of the sickest bikes on here! I like the look but prefer to ride straight up. However I also love the look of chopped's bars. some sweet bikes on here for sure!

Looks like a very cool bike. Nice mods.
I agree... has kinda a water buffalo look.
But I always like different and you don't see many inverted bars.

I'm sure I'll get flamed for this but I don't like the look of the inverted bar at all. To each his own though..

The rest of the bike, however, is sick. I love your seat.
