But I've been thru 4 different bars on my Dyna, so obviously I'm not a good judge of what works and what doesn't (alas).

Hey Mark. No hard feelings here. Glad you gave your opinion. Maybe they would look more complete with the controls, mirrors and levers on them.

They are, without a doubt, love/hate bars. I'm going to have to sleep on this one. Take care,
Dave

The Custom bars look great!!!! I'd stick with those over the other plain run of the mill bars...

The custom bars look great! Way better than the Heritage bars. I've seen a couple of RG's around here with bars "similar" to your's and I thought they looked great too. No doubt in my mind....I'd keep the custom bars on! Well done!

Those custom bars look pretty cool.

I had to examine the photos for a bit, but I like them. They work well with everything you got going on there.

One thing i hope you never have to experience though is trying to escape those things in any type of collision. They don't look like friendly escape bars.

The custom bars look great, but to my eyes, they're kinda hidden behind that fairing... but then again, I really don't dig fairings of any kind.

pointy aren't they? they don't seem to match the lines of the bike. Might look better on a different model bike.
