    Reproduction handlebars

    Hi. A freind from the US has asked me if I know who is making good quality handlebars in the States. I think I have read a post on this site about someone making very good reproduction bars. Maybe his name is Faber but I would like to know if this is correct, and some contact details.

        I'll give a big 'thumbs up' for Tom Faber also, and all of the things he does, of which handlebars is just one, but probably what he is best known for. I got a set of reproduction bars from him, and they are most excellent! Last a heard form him, he was having trouble with his chrome plater, so was selling the bars 'raw'. Maybe by now he has found another plater.

          Does Tom manufacture the internals for the grips as well? Do OEM internals fit .... and operate like OEM should.

            Steve, the OEM spirals fit and operate perfectly in Tom Faber's handlebars.

                Bars....

                Tom Faber's bars are the best on the planet! I recently got a set for my '47 FL. All of the (HD OEM) internals fit perfectly, the threads for the set screws were spot on. I looked for a while on e-bay and other prices, and OEM HD were through the roof. Tom delivers just as good as the factory, and they are US made! Shoot me if I ever buy some catalog crap for bars! My speedster bars rock! ....BONES
