It is sort of what I am looking for, I wish I could draw but I can't I can see it in my head. I like my standard bars, for me they have always been very comfortable, but I like the bober look, I have seen the Sparky build and I liked the look. But over here in the uk, you can do this stuff but, welding I can do but I am no pro at it, so would need it to be done professionally. So between Condor and Sparky I am totally sold on. But I think that holding on to the standard Bars, a batwing would look good, I might even be persuaded to fit either custom rear boxes or saddle bags..
