How does it handle with those bars? I've always wondered that when I see the old style buckhorns, but yours are extreme.

Looks great by the way. I see some of what HD was trying to do with the styling they gave the new '72' model in your bike.

I'm not going to be able to deal with bars. At speed they're no different than any other bars, but in parking lot situations - no way, I'm going to drop the bike. I'm having new bars built with not such an extreme bend, and wider.
