Title: handlebar options

What aftermarket bars have you guys used?

I am thinking about going the cheap-o route like maybe some drag bars (under $30 shipped from eBay);

maybe some clubman-types (few $$ more than the drag bars);

BUt there's also the Suburban machinery bars ($160)

That's actually my bike in the picture below with the SM bars on it. I put them on a show bike and based on the response, worked with SM to make them a production item for Monsters.  I was really happy with those bars.

I had looked at drag bars, clubman bars etc etc and everything either hit the tank, wouldn't clear the triple trees or the fork adjusters or just plain looked weird.

I think the SM bars are money well spent as you shouldn't really run into any unexpected suprises and the folks that make them really know thier stuff when it comes to ergos etc.

Just my .02

Cheers!
