i'm going for an old school racer/cafe racer look. i guess i could go with clubmans, but i was wondering if you guys had any other suggestions.

also, what i should do with my sidecovers.
sheet metal, leather, or just repaint some stock ones?

You know I've always dug the stock norton atlas bars for comfort and looks, but not very racer oriented, unless you flip them. A "broom stick" drag bar looks cool. I hate clubmans. Tomaselli's are nice because they're adjustable. Clip Ons are cool too, but they handle like shit for street riding. Just my opinions.

clip ons rule...but pretty uncomfortable for longer rides.

i think anything but stock side covers always looks kinda weird. diamond plate never comes out looking right.

I don't really have time to look cause I'm work, but it's a drag bar, basically a straight piece of tubing with no bends. I don't know who sells 7/8's bars these days.

My drag bars have slight bends in them near the grips/ controls. Now go watch Mad Max!!

These are the easiest bars to make yourself. I like a euro super drag type bar. www.oldbikebarn.com

You dont have to do much of anything to make broomstick bars or "suicide drags" as ive heard them called. Just find a piece of tubing and cut it to length.

I'm gonna agree, the stock covers look the best. Maybe try to get some repops or egay some. I'm working on an idea to form some out of aluminum and if I come up with something worth posting you bet I will. Don't use diamond plate...completely gay, gay, gay. It doesnt even fit on a bike, it's just ******* chrome.
