I really dig that second set of bars. Who made those?

Those were made from Jimmy Peek of Peek Cycles. He does amazing work. I won these in a charity raffle. I had him make a 10" short version of his Evil Twin Peek bars for me.
Here is a link to his FB page:

Those are fun to look at, but I donβt wanna ride a bike that can kill me if I tip it over.
You might have been afraid to ride my Western Sizzler build 
It had pointy ends on the front and the back.

Pointy-headed thinking?
I remember this guy that put a big chrome pike nut on top of the gas cap right in the middle of his gas tank. Definitely not a bike for attempting wheelies.
And far from the most dangerous thing I ever saw on a bike.
Iβll have to dig thru my photosβ¦

I bet it took about six margaritas before this seemed like a good idea.
Yep, that is one of the bikes he brought down to Savannah years ago. We had a few great rides.
There are lots of fancy bikes that I wouldnβt want to ride every day. I think youβre starting a compendium here.
That wasnβt a shot across the bow buddy.
Maybe Iβm just not taking this build-off thing seriously enough.
Otherwise Iβd be working on the bike right now instead of playing games with you.
Cheerio!

I'll just ride my bike then, thanks, because the metal just doesn't care what you call it except in Hollywood.
I do care about my two daughters and 8 granddaughters. Three of them are not yet adults.
I just can't do all the offensive/snakes/skulls/daggers/porn/patches/tattoos stuff. My arms and all my leathers are blank.
I have a terminal case of family man's disease. If I was going to war it would be different.

I like those bars and of course the entire bike is cool too .You might have been afraid to ride my Western Sizzler build

I call them clubman bars just flipped upwards .
No worries at all with any critiquing. That is all part of the process and feedback that makes us build better bikes in these build offs. I'm an engineer as well, but I'm a EE, so I only pay attention to whether or not electrons will flow with the lines of the build. Everything else is up for grabs when I start mockups
In the kerfuffle I missed this one entirely.
I did mostly structural, but a few other oddities of the CAM/CAD/CAE world too.
Wish I still had access to the programmable tubing bender . . .*sigh*
Anyhow, if electrons start flowing thru my build, it means I finally broke out the TIG welder, because those lamps are just for show.

In between Machinist careers, I was an EET...my job was to keep the EEs flowing in the right direction.
