I just got some Highway bars from cruiser customizing.
Good price and look perrrrrfect.
not too big.
Depends what your preference is.

 

do those stick out enough to save you legs?

 

Buchead, Those appear to be the Show chrome? I have not yet seen them on a bike yet and thought they would be better because they are shorter and come out a litle more than the OEM bars.

These are Corbra bars in my sig picture. Be carefull if you like to drag your peg or are lowered. The cobra bars will hit the ground first.

 

I am really considering attempting to make my own. All of these projects and no time to do them. THe cobras seem to big for my taste, and like you said the oem's are too small. Whats a bear to do? These showchrome bars are looking fairly promising though.

I have the showchromes and they won't protect the tank and barely protect the engine. Also seems like pegs would interfere with the break and shifter. With what i know now i would not buy them.

 

thanks for the heads up

 

I'm happy with my Lindby bars: good protection, comfortable highway pegs, and love the look.

 

The showchrome are less protruding so if they did protect your legs it would be close. maybe the lower leg. I havent been riding long enuf to have had the opportunity to lay one down yet (hope I never do), so I cant speak from experience. One of the reviews on the CC website sums it up fairly well by saying they look really good but questionable protection for anything other than the crank case. I agree with Cornell about the pegs. It looks like The heel of the shoe would be touching the shifter and brake.

 

Bazen Blu50 Great looking bars. Where did you purchase them and where they specifically for the M50?
Thanks

 

I ordered them through Extreme Suzuki when Dave was still there. He researched them and found that they would fit. The contact now is Eric, call at 866-779-8736. They are not made exclusively for the M50, but I had no trouble with installing them.

You may be better off contacting Lindby directly for questions ( http://www.lindbycustom.com ). They can refer to dealers, I know Cruiser Customizing also carries them.

 

i like the look of the linby bars the best i think. thanks for the help.

 

Hey B.Blue did you have those lindbys on in Gatlinburg?

 

yea he did Outlaw, meant to ask him myself how they did and forgot.

 

If you had the johnskit forward controls which guards would be best ? Blznblues lindys would probably get in the way.Does anyone have the F/C and guards?

 

Love the Lindby's. Strong look, different look, very comfortable on the highway, scares the children and turns on their mothers. What more could you ask for?

 

i was admiring the paint too much to even notice. do they scrape before the pegs and have you lowered your bike??

 

i do have the forward control kit on mine. i think on the website they have a kit for the cobra bars, but i didn't see anything about the linby bars.

Thanks. Ride on down for a week and we'll get some flames done on your bike as well. You know you want to.

No, I haven't lowered my bike, and no, they didn't scrape first.
Sharpened the tips of my Stiletto pegs nicely about 1/2-dozen times though on the second day of the Dragon.

 

i'll bet the wifey would love that. (wife)yeah jerry go on down to florida for a week. get some flames painted on the bike. oh yeah you can even have a good time if you want.(end sarcasm) in other words B.Blue, yeah right..... we just started overtime today, which is good for the pocketbook, but bad for the relationship thingy. i missed her annual family reunion last year b/c of work and looks like i won't make it again this year. oh yeah, she's not home from work yet, so she don't know. guess i need to go cook supper to kinda ease into the telling. i might have to take you up on the offer later on.

 

Use paper plates, they don't break.

Cook things that clean up easy, no spaghetti sauces, etc.

Plastic cups only, glass hurts.

Clean and put away all knifes, pots and pans. Install child safety locks on cabinets, it'll give another few seconds head start.

While flowers seem right, it only triggers their warning indicators that you did something wrong. Catch her off guard with something like a CD or a new Ferrari.

Once you dog house that you're sleeping in gets too uncomfortable, you always have a couch here to crash on.

Good luck, and we'll miss you.
