Default BR's Custom Bars

Hey, Just wondering what the consensus was with BR's Custom Bars for Baggers, I've not really seen anyone saying they are running them, and wondered if they were any good or what? It looks like they have some pretty moderate styles that aren't too radical, IE the Sweeping Beaters, I like the 1.25" bars, rather than the 1.5", but that is just my preference. The price for those is $375, which seems pretty on par with everyone Else's prices.

Which is another thing, when I bought bars for my Nightster I paid less than 2 bills for bars, why is it they are doubled for baggers? Figure we have more money?

Any input is appreciated. Thanks!!!

Br bars are amazing but it will take awhile to get them in. Check out Torch Industries also, http://handle-bars.com/bagger/streetglide.html just got mine and quality is excellent. Only took 2 weeks to have them to my door. Bagger bars are quite a bit larger and set up for throttle by wire which raises prices. Mostly though baggers are the hot bike to own right now which always spikes aftermarket parts. Good luck!

I got my set of in Nov, waited about a month to get the finished product but he also made matching engine guard and bag guards (meat hooks). Got to say, worth the money and worth the wait. The powder coating alone made it worth it. I took off a set of Wild One 577's, they started chipping/flaking 6 months into the 1st season. These are show quality bars. And, the only ones that I know of that are built to order. I gave Bill the specs I wanted (close the the feel of the 577's) and he built the to my spec at no extra cost. Everybody else is selling off the shelf bars. Kind of like a custom tailored suit Not for everyone ($$) If you want a well made "custom" bar to your specs, these are the one's
