Mmm. No!  They were shockingly poo. Bent really easy just like the forks. That's why they were replaced with the patriot bars.  :daumenhoch:

Which to be honest weren't that much better.  :LolLolLolLol:

The strongest bars Hoffman made were the lovehandles.  Loads of them still about.  :smitten:

Problem is, as awesome as a set of chunky ol' Lovehandles are, They're from a different era, so slightly out of place if You're trying to make the 2012 look like a 1992.
Do you grovel to your master? Do you beg like a dog?

I don't think it matters so much with bars, as long as they're comfortable

True, I used the 1" versions for some time way back when, then changed to Lowdrag 2's. Still got another set in the garage, nice bars.

when i got my condor complete in 92 the bars lasted 3 weeks before snapping, sent them back to custom riders and they sent me a new set. they lasted 3 weeks before snapping. sent those one's back and they said choose something else so i got some haro kneesavers. i doubt you'll ever find a set.

I had a set made for my condor build. They have a sort of patriot bar look. But with new school geometry. I have had them chrome plated. But chose the lovehandles as they looked better on the bike. That's only my opinion though. Some you may like them.  :LolLolLolLol:

Here is a pic of them before I got them chromed.



I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with them now.  ???

28 wide & You can get them in 8, 8.5 & 9 high, sweep is 10 back & 3 up. Chrome, Black, Grey & I think Red, plenty of room to cut down, I've got Mine at 27 & They feel real nice  :daumenhoch:
