Sadly I have an 08 SB so these wont work for me and I'm too lazy and cheap to change out the top triple tree - I luv the look though. I wonder if they'd consider a small run of these bars with the risers spaced a little further apart and a horizontal bar welded across the bottom (sorta like the Biltwell Window Bars but taller) for us 08 and up StreetBobbers.........

These are 14" wctbar's I just installed on my '01 fxdxt very comfortable. Best bars I've ridden with so far.

Look for Rock's Chops outta Evansville, In. Talented kid, makes some killer bars and will do any custom design for a reasonable price.

thanks; problem with most of the custom bar builders is they can't (or wont) dimple the bars for the post 82 controls so you are forced to run the wires internally and I generally can't be bothered with all that goes into doing that (I know, I know its eeeeeeasy but I still dont wanna do it) - if I dont like the bars or find something I like better I want to be able to quickly swap em out.

Hey Dr. V-Twin - since you seem to know these guys at West Coats T-Bars - how 'bout asking them to branch out and do a window bar?????

PS - those window bars would look wicked on a fatbob........ do it.

cool; let us know. A 12 or 13" window bar would be a hot item I'd think. I did ask Biltwell if they'd make a taller set (their's are 10" at the highest but drop down at the tips quite a bit) but they said no.
