The bars are just standards but bike bandit wanted 102 bucks these were 34 , the mirrors are are round chrome, but the coolest part are the new grips are the coolest part the kind of look like ski pole grips , you know HAND shaped we'll see how they work!!! Anybody get any new cool parts lately?

Hey Furious4 they fit just fine. I like them much better than the "garden tiller" style that came on the Specials. For my old worn out body, the riding posture is more comfortable. The issue I had was what to do with the extra cables and brake line length (you may not have this issue due to already having drag bars). I will try and post some pics this weekend for ya. Mind you I have the forks off right now but you can still get an idea. Also something else I forgot to mention is the mirrors are harder too see behind me now because the superbike bars are narrower than the stock ones. RickRev.Rick
