Default Alternative to pointed Monkey Bars...
I am looking for a bar that has a squared bend at the top without the horns or points. Todds Cycles makes a bar like this but it does not have the bend in the bottom for batwings.

Any help is appreciated.

Bike is a 09 FLHX. Thanks

HHI, Hawg Haulters Inc. Great looking bars.
The Raiders are pretty square, the Reapers have a point, but not as much as MBBs.

br custom bars will build you whatever you want. Also look at paughco if you dont want to pay for a one off set of bars. They may have something...

I really like the price point of the poughco bar kits...anyone have a pic with a set z bars or their curved bar on a bagger?

keep the suggestions coming as I was locked on Paul yaffe bagger bars but he seems a little spendy compared to some......

I do not have any pictures but one of my relatives just bought a '12 Road Glide and he set on a bike at a dealership recently that a customer had used one of the paughco kits on. He really like them and is going to buy one of the kits as well.
