what would happen if i tried to bend the buckhorn bars outward and foreward ?
would the crome crack ?

your'e right Azjay unless I heated the %&* out of them, and then what would the re-croming be like ?

I guess I'll stop by a harley place. It'll be interesting what they have to say about the savage, hopefully they'll have some used bars.

i'm not sure, the local independent harley shop has dozens of them hanging on the walls, i just picked a set that closely resembled what i wanted. when the HD dealership does a bar swap/replacement, they throw the old ones in the trash(brand new or not), 5 days after they remove them from the customers bike. the same holds true for the mufflers.
