Title: Sportster bars installed
Post by JohnBoy on 05/27/09 at 16:40:23

I installed a set of HD Sportster bars and risers. The chrome was a little too shinny for me, so I buffed them with 600 grit sandpaper. Now they have a satin look without giving up the chrome protection.

The risers are stock HD Sportster as well. I have taken them off and buffed them to a satin finish as well since this picture was taken.

The HD bars had no bar weights so I made my own. I used plastic cigar tubes (Garcia and Vegas English Coronas) and filled them with lead bird shot. A little gorilla glue to seal the cap and a wrap or two of masking tape and they are a perfect fit.http://lh6.ggpht.com/_TCSH6bqjHEM/Sh3LSl2ah_I/AAAAAAAAAFI/jIA5FiNFI8c/s576/bar%20weights.jpg
And now just sit back and enjoy a beer and a smoke!

Looks really nice, and good job of improvising bar weights.
