The bars are the the Norman Hyde "M" Bars?

If not what model are they?

They are 'M' bars.

Here's a couple of pics with the European bars upside down.

I love the set up on your 750.  The dual drilled discs look great.  How does the stopping power compare to stock?  Where did you get the noodle for the right side caliper?  The dual discs and the viper fairing give it an appearance not unlike a BMW R90S.  I've been on the fence about ordering the viper fairing and your pics may have pushed me over the edge.

Yeah, Euro is the way to go and now you guys must learn to pay taxes so you can improve your thirdworld roads and find out what riding is all about.

We pay plenty of taxes, but our government is too busy lining their own pockets to put the money where it belongs. BTW, we have some very nice roads here.

I couldn't agree more.  Our infrastructure is falling apart.  I don't understand why we can't close tax loopholes for large corporations and the extremely wealthy enough to bring down our deficit and rebuild our infrastructure.  I might get some flack for this, but to each their own.  (Or maybe it's just Michigan roads...)

Hi, Guys.. Thanks for the pics showing off my handiwork. The seats are definately a Labor (intense) of Love.

And I really like the "M" bars as well. I've been sitting on a set for the last year just waiting for the right bike build to put them on. The black ones look beyotchin'!

Holden, I'm really curious about your Power Levers. I have some Maguras, but I don't think they have the finger notches. Do you know who made yours of remember where you got them?  Thanks in advance!  Ted aka RR
