Searching for Sugarman (or handlebars)

780mm width, 10mm rise or less, 8 degree backsweep, 6 degrees upsweep, NOT carbon

Anyone any ideas? I'm getting sick from clicking on every bar from every brand just to figure out they are only 750mm wide. Why dont brands have OVERVIEWS that show me the dimensions of their bars.

funn fatboys are close to that from memory but they're 785mm but have the markings so you can cut down easy enough

Renthal fatbars sound like they meet the criteria

 

[foxpuppet]

On CRC you can select width in the drop down menus

Here's what on offer for alloy 780mm, it'll give you a start even if you buy local.

OK, the Renthals are too close to ignore them. While I try to figure out if I can live with gold handlebars, can someone tell me what makes them so special that everyone and their daughter are raving about them? Its a handlebar right.

I dont have anything carbon on my bike, I dont like carbon, all my other bikes are made of steel, I'm not going to start buying into carbon with one of the most important parts of my bike...call me old school, call me whatever...the first part I will ever buy thats made of carbon are wheels once I have the money

 

[Honzo15]

+they cost $100 more and I dont care about weight...at all.

try Spank, they do a few wide bars up to about 2.5metres!
