im going to try a different idea with my bars set up..so im after some short risers and mini apes....maybe after a few sets of bars..as i may stuff them up when i cut n bend them....so a bit of surface rust or scratches are no issue...

cheers

Why not get a set bent to your exact requirements.

Sit on your chopper with your hands out in front exactly where you want them, and get someone to bend up a piece of thick wire to give exact height, width and angle of handgrips.

Getting a set bent should cost you around $50-$70. Saves time and money.

If its 7/8 bars mate got check out the bike store, old tip or any cool bike you may be able to use some funky chrome ones off an old lowrider bike or something, plus super cheap.

Riser wise there are some cool ones on ebay, check out trojan classic cycles aswell

Be careful with bicycle bars.
Very thin tube.

mine are 1inch anyway..but yes had some cool bike bars a while back and thought they seemed a bit light for a motorbike... great idea though...
