I like the riser/bar combo.I can adjust the angle of the bars that way.Nice bike though.Different color, haven't seen it on a train.

ORIGINAL: scottm

for sure get them powder coated black. with that cool front end it would just tie everything together.
Ditto.

As far as the rise/pullback. the feel is more important. I think they are fine.....

Just thought I would let everyone that gave their opinion, and I do thank you all, that sat. I did put new bars on the bike. Found an 1 1/4" drag bar that is drilled for internally wiring and is 32 inches wide at a local bike shop. Love the new bars, definetly feel more comfortable. Haven't done the wiring yet for the same reason I didnt do that to the one peice bars, wanted to wait to see if I like them. Now I just have to find some risers that I like, using the stock risers now, and looking at gettin some 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 thick risers to go with the fat bars and the beefy look to the forks. And YES they are all getting powdercoated Thanks again to everyone for the help and input. Should have some new pics this week.

Good move.

Get equally beefy risers with a slight pull back and you're there.

I'd go 8 inch rise....it puts your hands right about level.

Well Im a short statured guy myself and I find that my stock FB bars are perfect! But I can see how bigger guys might want to get higher bars for better comfort/look.

I agree, with train, thinks there is too much pullback for the rise. Otherwise, bikes looks pretty cool to me.
Good job!
