Nice write-up and video.

One question, what is the measurement of the width of the bars from grip to grip? I use the sweeper bars and did a write-up on them. The Sweepers measure 36" from grip to grip. I would like to add a link to this post for those who desire a less wide set of bars.

Thanks. I was not sure if the width measurement was with grip installed or not.

good point and I would guess it is without grips... and it depends on the grips you use... I use Kyurakyn with helmet locks - most all measurments are without grips... ???

I am trying to compare, the finished product. Can you take a measurement from grip end to grip end, minus the helmet locks?
