Question Anyone running Windows...?
...not the Operating System, but the old-school Handle-bar style.

I like my stock handlebars, but toying around with the idea of doing something "different".
I would keep my speedometer in the original location, and relocate my turn signals.
<--- Biltwell Window Bars


Any pics of a Sportster running this style bar would be appreciated... Nightster or Iron a plus.

I'd be scared of getting the blue screen of death with Windows bars...




Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week.

How much rise to they have on there? I like the look a lot but I think they have more rise than I would like. If I could get them in that style with about the same amount of rise at the grips of the stock nightster bars, I would be all over them.
