I just had to laugh at your comment.
Don't you like make huge non-Harley engines?
Also, old school bikers modified practically everything on their bikes... choppers come to mind.

OP...great job.

Craftmenship looks good. Think they stick out a little far for me. a nice curved back one would be right on the money.

I must be new-skool cause I say *** Harley and their **** designs that require ya to pay out for high priced P/A to make your ride rideable (like uh, handlebar designs that pinch your shoulder blades, seats that give you monkey ***, bag guards that hurt the passengers legs, etc....). Harley IS the man... just sayin... On the flip side, Made in USA is redeeming

Love to see home grown fabrication! Great job.

Well done. I like the look, and seems much more practical for passengers.

Great job. I put bag bars on my Streetglide because I was worried about a slow speed fallover. It takes away the minimalist look of the Streeglide in IMHO. The more I look at them the more I want to take them off. I've been looking for something different. You might be onto something here and a possible side business for yourself. Again great job.
