Anyone looking for a Highway Bar? 4 Years, 7 Months ago  
I found this Baron's Highway bar for sale on e-bay. Heck of a deal so far, it's just like mine. Good luck if you want it.

It's one of those cheap $67 ones off e-bay. I bought it so I could set my idle mostly. I had it mounted to the right of the risers for a while but didn't like that. I made a SS bracket to fit between the riser clamp but at certain rpms it viberates like crazy. I am going to make another bracket soon to cure that problem. It does all I need it to do for the price I paid. I just couldn't see spending $200 or more one it for what it does.Here is one just like it on Baron's.

They work good enough for me and they are cheap. When I redo my bracket for mine I will let you know if the viberation is better. If it is I can make you a bracket also if you can give me cardboard template of you risers.

If anyone needs a bar I'd suggest grabbin this one or gettin one from Yamaha. If I hadnt had one on my bike my tank would be destroyed just from it heading over once. The bar and the foot pegs saved my tank. They're worth their weight in gold when you really need them and provide a handy place to put your feet on the pegs when you dont. Cheap pegs are only like 30 dollars.
