What do you guys think? I was going for the clean no clutter handlebar look

I am actually installing drag bars and this is my shameless attempt to be a post whore. Anyways I will post pics if I get them done tonight ( kids are buggin me to watch High School Musical 2, man I love being a dad to princesses )

I really think you might be too clean.

You really at least need the throttle on the right hand side.

I would go for the no handlebar look.

Looking good, keep us posted.

Ok here is the finished project. Actually was quite surprised at the ease of this mod. It took longer to remove the stupid warning sticker then changing the bars. See my new Topic " When Debadging goes horribly wrong " to read that story JESUS!!

Anyways here are the pics

I like it, looks great.

Looks nice! you really should remove that sticker on the tank, and the one on the fender wouldn't be a bad idea to get rid of either...oh wait never mind.

Looks vageuly familiar.

I LOOOOVE my drag bar. It's amazing how much it changes the look of the bike from the front end. Really gives it more of a %%%%%% look.

I agree 100% and once I get the blinkers off the front end will start to look clean. Which I plan on tackling tonight, I wonder how much damage I can do tonight????

I got mine from Debrix Cycles. They are a 1"

digitalbroccoli · 04-01-2008, 12:29 PM

got mine at debrix as well. 35 bucks or something like that.

I think I'm going to swap in flexible LED's wrapped around the forks for signals, then the stockers will go away. TOugh to find good options for front signals for the M.

I hate them, once I get off my butt and figure out how to disconnect them from the headlight they are gone.

On second thought its not so much figuring it out as getting the butt and doing it! Now that baseball has started I have a reason to hang in the garage
