Performance Machine's ā€œLuggedā€ Handlebars

PM’s design and engineering team set out to create the best handlebars on the market with relatively simple criteria; they need to be strong, clean, and innovative. Using CNC tube bending, laser cutting, and welding technology PM developed a contoured cut blending the 1.25” tubing smoothly into the upper 1.0” tubing of these bars. Double wall manufacturing creates strength where it’s needed balancing weight and style. PM’s Lugged bars were sent through our destructive test lab insuring these are truly the best on the market. Grab yours in show chrome or gloss black powder coat finishes for FL TBW and Non-TBW applications and FXST (except Springer). Retail Chrome: $379.95 Black Powder coat: $299.95   For more information contact 800-479-4037 or ...
