Handlebar thoughts suggestions - Vaquero?

**smokier** · 02-07-2016, 08:00 AM

Am looking to replace the stock bars with some blacked out bars. I like the looks of the DMyers bars and the custom Road Glide bars.

Ideally, the Ape look without having to cut wires. The RoaringToyz are too much money. Plus, 10" might be a better 'fit' than the 12" they offer. Cannot tell from the photos if the Baron Bars have the right bends and angles.

These bars from FMB Chopper Parts look promising.

Does anybody know of any other bars that might fit the Vaquero and my needs?

Thanks in advance.
Ride safe,

Smokier

Hey Jim, I just ordered a set of the 11" Menacing bars last Saturday from FMB, says it will take 5-6 days to ship, haven't heard anything yet but will post some pics when I get them on. Can't wait until all this darn snow is gone & it warms up!

I love the look of the FMB bars can't wait to see'em, this guy obviously works from his house and it's literally 10min. From mine but can't find his exact location it would be nice to go see them made 1st hand.
Roaring toys bars were made by burley, when I contacted him he said he did not eccomend them, I have no clue who's making their new bars

They have a build video on youtube for their bars, you can link to it of the FMB website.

Most excellent! Let me know what you think of fit and finish as well.
Looking forward to the pics!

Ride safe,
(I just did 10 miles!).

I would suggest emailing for information if you are interested. I had a good conversation with them. They have made Vaquero bars and understand the unique needs created by the fairing.
