i got those by chance on a bike i bought( just because the slicky g's were in white wall).... really think those bars look good ... im all ears to suggestions :| :) :D :mrgreen:
 
Those apes look good but I don't know about everyday practicality. I've taken a linking to these bmx bars I put on my beater. Pretty comfy.

it's actually not uncomfortable ive been trying every thing.... as i said on another posting ive always been one to sacrifice comfort for looks.... im really just asking what would look better not "whats more comfortable" :| 8)
 
I see this is a little old now, but what have you come up with?
IMHO, with all those curvy lines you need a bar with curves. And with the seat down like that the grips probably need to be out to the sides to keep you on. I like the looks of the boardtrack bikes, so inverted 'somethings' get that.....maybe a set of lowrise with a 5-10 deg. backsweep mounted inverted?
 
yeah i was thinking board tracker but need different stem the quill and bars bolt down style..... thanx for all the imput guy's
 
Your stem looks like the standard 1" swell bicycle bar, the bolt down are 7/8" motorcycle (maybe BMX too) type, more expensive but I think tougher. I have that kind on my GT Dyno Duece (1 1/8 threadless ), and sometimes wish it was like yours, and fit it with a roadbike stem to reach out more horizontal.
 
Apes look good, and so do the BMX bars. Do NOT flip any handlebars upside down PLEASE. I just don't get why people do that. I keep seeing these beautiful done bikes, and then it is ruined as soon as someone puts the bars on wrong. To me it's like having the forks on backwards.
