Nicely executed U-turns and a good save when the bar broke.  I couldn't make out what fell off onto the pavement.

Appears to be a saddlebag. His buddy has one on the left side in one pic, but nothing on the right side when he pulls up.  

I would not ride a bike made by these guys!

Do we know if the bars are stock Harley or aftermarket/home fab?

I was wondering the same thing. I'd take a punt and say they're aftermarket/home-made. I was waiting for the risers to break (they are so tall and narrow!). But, for the handlebar to break off like that, just looks like it was completely under-engineered, or poorly welded, especially if you're planning to do wheelies on a cruiser!!

One thing Harley has going for them , is gearing .  Changing primary and or final drive ain't too hard , and you can stay with belt drive while ya change !.  ;)
