Default clubman bars on Nightster

Has anyone put clubman bars on their Nightie? I'm considering going from drag bars to clubmans, but I'd like a visual reference before I do the undertaking.
I've searched this forum with no luck.
Thanks.

I don't know about on a Nightster but I've seen plenty on Sportsters.I have a set on my SV and like em allot for burning up the back roads and even find them fairly comfortable at freeway speeds.The thing is I don't know if anyone makes them in 1".If not you'd have to buy and or make allot of adapters for your clamps an switches and what not.Check the cafe racer thread there may be one on there.

A couple of things I've noticed from looking at allot of cafe Sporties is that most have clip-ons rather than clubmans and most have the forks slid way up in the trees.I haven't looked at one up close but my guess would be the clubmans get in the way of sliding up the forks.I know on my Sv I could only slide the forks up 1/4" before they hit the clubmans.I could get them up 1/2" but I had to rotate the bars forward so far they were painfully uncomfortable.Now I'm not saying that clubmans wouldn't look good on a nightster or that you need or even want to slide the forks up in the tubes, just something to think about.

Thats kinda the direction I went in. I had made a set of clubman knockoffs just to see how the ultra low bars felt, and ended up going with clip-ons.
