I think there should be a prize for the most dangerous bike/accessory. Just think about poppin a wheelie and slicing your legs. And they thought the Stick shift was dangerous.

Found a set of apehangers to start with.

Got a little excited and cut these bars up before taking a picture, but they started life as an old set of 10 speed bars.

After a little slicing, I came up with this ensamble. The little pink pieces are to sleeve the bars together.

This is how they turned out. I'll have to add a couple of inches to the ends, but otherwise this is how they should look at the finish. Sorry the photo sucks.

Nice, the bars follow the same line as the down tube on the frame. Very cool ChainyImage...Kelly
