cross bar looks far too low for early slams.

looks a bit much sweep too.

I agree. I thought the amount of sweep strange.

I emailed photos of the bars to Moeller. He said that he had forgot about these. They're just early Slams...

Jeeze, Maddog forgets about everything he used to make!

Remember in the early days Chris had stuff made by everyone so it all looks different. Got to admit, they don't look like any slams that i ever had and i've had a lot!

Here is a Slam bar story I heard a while ago:

S&M asked the (stupid) people who were making Slam bars at that time to lower the cross bar by a few inches. They welded it on lower, but didn’t cut it any shorter, so they bent the bars less to accommodate it. This resulted in some crazy wide slams with a real lazy bend. I think the problem was solved on the next batch, but it helps to show how there are a few strange shaped Slam bars around. This event might also have attributed to why S&M started making their handlebars in-house.
