RRBBO13 ○〇◯ Holeshot ◯〇○ What... Me Worry? FINISHED Trek CNC Rail Checkered Chopper

[kingfish254]

I needed to test out the new saddle before I took the time to fix it up. So I went out for a little 4th of July ride.

Found this cool Ural sidecar motorcycle and couldn't pass up a photo op.

Then stopped in front of the decorated Sorrell Weed Mansion.

To be honest. If I didn''t have the Mothra bars, these would be staying on the bike. I like the look of them. While riding, it's almost the same as the Mothras since the grips are in approximately the same height and orientation.

You know they have stuff to take care of that little Sorrel Weed problem.

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

Now that I see these and you report they ‘feel’ the same, I’d put the Mothra bars in mothballs....

Thought I'd be in the minority, but I dare say I like that bike just as it sits (with the proposed checkerboard accents added). No fins, no banana saddle, no freakishly over-sized/under-slung bars. You like to lean toward the outrageous, but I see nothing wrong with understated outrage. It kinda feels like...trouble brewing.

Not in Colorado.

I like it as it is here too. Clean of doodagnabbery,
and... those mothras look right at home on the big screamer you have.

While I had the original Screamer butterflies, I mounted them up on the upper stem.

I actually prefer this a lot more than the mothra bars. Looks less like a rodent.

Though was never a big mothra supporter, I just kept quiet about it, cause everyone loved em so much.

The big ones seem to fit the 'kingfish style' better.

 

[Fv2]

I'm gonna be honest.
I think the mothra bars look cool, but not sure they belong.
The butterfly bars don't hit the mark.

What other bars do you have?

 

[KJV]

Butterfly pulled back;
To line up , with fork tube ,angle.

 

[toro1978]

I think moto handlebars would fit Your bike really well. Sometimes the simpler solution is the more elegant/fitting.

For Your ride in Chrom of course.
I think the Mothra and the Butterflys are way over the top and distract from the frame.

 

[Nepali]

I would choose the small butterfly bars looks very Cool.

 

[OddJob]

Imelda Barcos is only giving us 2 bars to choose from?
I actually like Toro1978 's idea. Something more 'racy' and lower. That joint at your extended chain stay and down tube, mimic that some how. Maybe Chad at Chop Shop Customz has one of his available? I seem to remember his designs emulating kind of what I'm imagining. Everything else you have here with the frame, seat, wheels / tires, has such a cohesive style. The front end is already pretty high with the fork. I'm thinking something to 'draw it in' more and tighten it up. My .02.
Here's one I found on Chad's facebook page....

 

[Verrt]

I like the ideas by @toro1978 and @OddJob

Flat mtb bars with a slight pull back could be cool too. What cruiser motorbike riders might call 'drag' bars.

 

[SkyknightJohn]

Large Mothra.

Ditto

They are lined up with the fork tube, it is just that the rear section of the butterfly is lined up. If you look at most Sears Screamer pics, that is the way these bars are supposed to be. To me, anytime that any apes are pulled too far back they look like they are setup for the younger brother to ride the big brothers bike (and usually also have the nanner slammed low.
