Platinum grey (perfect color for Buells). Like new, used for about a month on my Uly. It is about 1.5" wider than a stock Uly bar, 3" lower, and straighter. More forward riding position, a great improvement for the twisties. I can still stand up for gravel/dirt but not as comfortably as stock. Seating position is still good for long rides, not so forward that it hurts my wrists. Selling because I've decided to go with a taller-than-stock setup for more gravel/dirt and to play around with supermoto riding style. $50 plus shipping. Pic to come. Note: Stock Buell handguards won't fit this bar due to the inside diameter being too small for the end plugs. |

Actually, the stock handguards WILL fit. You simply need to buy the plugs from Al at American Sport Bike. Work like a charm. |

Ok, well, proves how dense I am. I went ahead and sold my handguards already. D'OH! Ft- You had these bars right? Any positive opinions you can offer to prospective buyers? |

They are the right amount of leverage and forward position without wrecking the upright riding comfort. The are particularly good when paired with the Precision Engineering clamps. The clamps add an inch of hight which makes them perfect. They clean up the Uly cluster area nicely and on the Uly require no modifications of the wiring harness, throttle cables, clutch cable, or brake line. Probably one of the best mods I did on my Uly. |

Did you drill holes for the controls or shave yours off on these? |

I shaved off the nub on my controls...the bar is not drilled.
The foam pad can be put back on easily. I thought it looked better without. |

Do you know how close these are to the cr low bend . If they are close then I might want them. |
