Anyone interested in custom S&M Cruiser Bars?

[Brunson67]

Arnold from S&M contacted me to see if there was enough interest they would make a limited rum of the custom cruiser bars they did for me. Obviously USA made, at the S&M facility, .090" wall thickness, chromoly, 32.5" wide , 6.25" height, 12 degrees upsweep(about 2"), 20 degrees of pull back (about 3"). These are my measurements I took of the bars after I received them. My bars came bare steel and I had them chrome plated, but they will be offering them in chrome. Price will be $60.00, and if enough interest he might be able to lower the cost a little more.
Update 10/13/17: Okay, Arnold and the guys at S&M are pretty stoked to have some interest in these bars. Please e-mail Arnold directly [email protected] , and reference S&M S.A.C Bars. He will then know what bars you are referencing. Update 10/16/17: Bars will be knurled and have identification.

Edit: definitely one set...possibly two, but, I have to think on it.

I'd prob bite

I´d be down for those, in chrome, for $60.... They look to be their ¨Husky 4 Speed MX¨ bar, without the crossbar?

I have the husky bars on my 80 blue cruiser, these are a little different, a little more rise

I'll post his email tomorrow so everyone can contact him directly.

Went out in the garage and compared the two bars, definitely different.

For sure, the guys at S&M are way cool!

Yeah, but there´s 2 different S&M ¨Husky¨ Bars...

Of course, i just hunted down the thread with your blue Schwinn, and it seems like you got the 4 speed bar on that bike.... but, looking again, is it possible that they´re just the Husky High MX bar without the crossbar?

It just seems weird that they have another secret bend for some bars that they´re nt even trying to market, at all. Seems more likely that they have some unfinished/unwelded bars that´d been intended for an existing product that they jut never got around to finishing up....

Either way, the bars look rad and i´d purchase a set. Thanks for doing the legwork on this one, @Brunson67 --- and for sharing the spoils with us RRBers!

I have a set of the standard husky bars too, they come in at a whopping 36" wide! I cut mine down, and still didn't end up using them, I'll need to compare these Cruiser bars to those, but I can tell you they are not 36" wide, they are measuring just over 32". Yes, it's been cool talking to the guy at S&M, he said the bars I got were laying in the shop, the only pair, got bent up for some reason. I can tell you he said they have a bunch of thrown together 26" cruisers the shop guys use to ride around the shop and ride to get lunch. They also just released their 26" FIT.

Yes, I felt bad posting that, cuz I want one too! I have the money in Paypal, but it's being donated to the wife for bolt on modifications!
