Fitted these new bars today, they are black H/D from Highway Hawk called XLX Style, they are 3" narrower, more forward and lower.
Also relocated the gauges to the flyscreen brackets and moved the flyscreen forward by fitting it to longer clamp bolts and spacers and turned the clamps around so the boss is hidden round the back
 
Nice work Steve! I like it! Now for some black mirrors! Try these if you can find them! I have a set and really like them!

Looking good Steve. Hope you like em as much as I do.
 
Like the bars. Everyone right about the mirrors. Stock ones suck! I have Ducati brushed aluminium. Would look great on your bike. By the way, tell me about your bear claw. Who made that? Would love to see a close up of it, as i make those also. Thanks.
 
Most excellent. I cannot see how you affixed the gauge mounts though. It appears that you might have drilled two holes in the fly screen brackets and screwed half the gauge mount to it. Is that correct?
 

Not sure who made the bearclaw I got it from Ebay new old stock, it was the only one they had.

Did you powdercoat the legs or wrap them?

I used 65mm heavy duty shrink tube on the forks, it polishes up nice it cost £3 and its not permanent.

Yea drilled holes in the brackets but did away with the bar clamps, used longer 6mm bolts into the gauges with spacers 15mm long.
