think they will fit?  i believe they are oversized, but have not stopped by the Buell dealer to take measurements.  i would like a bit more aggressive riding position, but since i have a top mount damper, i do not want to go to clip-ons.

You may run the risks, my friend, but I do the cutting. We cut down my percentage---uh, cigar?---liable to interfere with my aim.

The final measure of any rider's skill is the inverse ratio of his preferred Traveling Speed to the number of bad scars on his body.

the SM bars probably won't be as aggressive as clubmans, if the ergos are what you're after.

and, IMO, the SM bars look better on the monsters, because the sharp, angular bars match nicely to the trellis frame

I just got my SM M3 bar in the other day..

Aaron, I work at House of Harley on 62nd & Layton.  I think we have an extra set of the CR clubmans in parts.  Ask for Andrew in sales and we'll figure this out.
May your head gasket develop premature failure, your carb get gummed up, and your side stand fall short.

well, i got my hands on a set of these bars.  they will physically fit, cables and hoses work too.  but.. the forward sweep part of the is just too long.  the bars sit in a location about 1-1/2" past where clip-ons would be, they are a bit of a stretch.  they do look pretty cool though.  i'll take some pics before i take them off.

i guess i could have measured a set (should have made time to see you, bellagio), but these just fell into my hands.  once i had them i new they would be bad, but i still mounted them any ways.  oh well...

In case the Buell clubman bars don't work, here is another view of some Suburban Machinery bars.  I've been very happy with the ergonomics plus I do think they look "right" on the bike.  They are more aggressive than stock but somehow I no longer have any wrist problems.
