Hi, tose bars are custom made by a guy in south of France but you can find similar bars on CCI catalog under the Chopper Kings Handlebars Company. They call them Anfora : https://shop.customchrome.de/Nach-He...er-Kings-oxid/

Jerryrigged123,
I used a 4"grinder with a cutoff wheel & trimmed both sides of the splash gaurd. It opened it up enough so you can see daylight. yet still gives you splash protection.

Jerryrigged123,
I had installed a 1.5" tank kit from Dk. However, the bolt stripped out during the install so I removed & returned. The fuel line that connects both halves of the tank did not need modified. & the handlebars cleared just perfectly. To be honest, I was thinking that a 2" might have requiresd the fuel line to be modified & diidnt think the bars would clear without rolling them up a bit.
I have since removed my mirrors & rolled my bars down toward the tank in an effort to keep the clean low profile look. So i will not be reinstalling the kit. I do have pics of of the kit before I removed it, but im new here & having trouble posting pics from my phone.
Regards

Thanks Slim! That thought occurred to me to go that route.

I'm trying to avoid risers on the handlebars too.

So im lifting the tank but dropping the *** end. Replacing the slash guard on the rear swingarm, and removing the belt guard.
With a two innch lift up front and the bars in their stock position your throttle cablr guided by the throttle will hit the tank. You can avoid this by tilting the bra forward just enough so that at full lock to the right you can rest easy
