Almost look like inverted club bars from a cafe style.
If you ever change em out, I might be interested.
I know what you mean, the closest I have found to them is probably the same ones your talking about, the Burly Clubman 1" Handlebars, but mine seem to have a bigger radius on the lower mount and a larger overlap on the two grip bars...

These are the Burly Clubman 1" Handlebars...



Either way I love the bars on my bike, they put me in a good riding position.

Default Can anyone else ID these bars...

Have scoured the the ol' interweb. No luck. Anyone else have an idea who makes them?

You find any ID marks, on caps maybe?

They look like the "Speed Café" bars from Todd's Cycle.

Proper respect to CatEyeDallas: I failed to see your previous answer. Looks like you solved the mystery first!

I haven't updated this thread in a while, but thats because I havent changed anything on the bike since July. I have ridden it a while and still cant express how nice the Combo gauge with digital speedo is, if any of you are on the fence about it, GET IT. RPM readout is great and quick glance at speed is easy with the actual speed digital readout.

Motorcycle related... I did just build a new shed to store my bikes (my property is large but without a garage )

I was previously storing my bikes in a cramped 8x10 sears garden shed. this was a PITA because with two bikes it was crammed. It also shared a handfull of other yard items and was not cutting it. Now that I have three bikes I needed a new home for them so I built a 8x12 shed with sliding doors to give all three bikes cover from the weather. It was nice pulling my Buell out (hasnt seen daylight since I got my Ducati 4 years ago.) Was able to snap a shot of the two Harley-powered beasts before tucking the Buell into the new shed.



And here is a shot of the inside of the new bike barn



Buell and Duke share a stall and the Nightster gets its own bay (may build a work bench against the wall for storage of extra parts and gear)

Still on the fence about slipping a bike lift in here, I built the shed so its just deep enough to slip a harbor freight motorcycle lift. I would probably place it under the Ducati. I wouldnt be able to jack it up without the sliding doors open but I dont see that being a big issue. I have access to a lift at my fathers, but judging by the sketchy jacking operation when I swapped on the Ohlins, I would benefit from having access to a lift at my house...

Thats all for now.
