Hey Rob,

Once I finally get my Garage cleaned out and the "stuff" into the SHED, then I will have lots of room to "play" in my Garage/ makeshift machine shop, and I already have the 1" thick stock aluminum that I have planned on using the try to duplicate the 1" "setbacks" that you might want to use? Hope you're not in a big hurry?

Do a search for setbacks, there were some links posted for some that are just straight UP that might work for your application and not too pricey! But if you want the ~1" up and ~1" back towards the seat, then those are very pricey at $100.00 us for a pair, I'm sure I can make them much cheaper!

My German is so rusty I don't know that I would be able to complete the deal. It has been too many years since I studied the language in college.

I would still like to see the pictures.

Those are handlebar set bikes like used on bikes with touring fairings so the bars won't whack the fairing.

Hey Mason,

Thanks for the pics. It was late that night when I posted my reply, didn't have brain in full gear, I misinterpreted his statement of rearsets for setbacks !

But those setbacks are different design than what I have, those are just STRAIGHT BACK style, the ones I have are back and UP!

I think the back and up ones are possibly a bit stronger cause there more material and it's thicker between the OEM position and the setback position. But I realizes that 6061 aluminum is pretty strong, and at that thickness, it would take a big "drop" to cause them to break!

We now return this thread to it's original topic!

We are talking about handlebars right? What is all the chit chat about foot controlls? Those european foot controlls look similar to what I saw on ebay ebay is cool Every time I try to read this thread, I get confused. I guess my new status describes me accurately I love it!

We got side tracked about rear sets because rear sets are usually required for low bars like the club men bars.
