Looking For Highway Bars

Anybody know where I can get a decent set of highway bars (crash bars) for a 2005 1200C? They seem to be in short supply except for the Lindbys.

Are they that hard to find? Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

Did you ever find your hiway bars? I got mine on ebay, they are a
linsby knockoff. I paid just over 100 dollars for mine. They are great except for the toe clearance between my shifter and the bar is a little tight and I wear a size 10 boot. Hope this helps

cheeze,
If you can pick up a factory set on fleaBay, do it...
The forward curve allows plenty of room for 'boards, highway pegs, etc.

Thanks, guys. Looks like Lindby or e-Bay.

Didn't think they would be so relatively rare.

I bought Jardine Highway Bars on ebay for my 1998. Found some here on sale for 04 and newer.

kuryakian highway bar

Just put on the Kuryakian mustache bar on my 08 1200c and it is great. Completely adjustable so no toe interfearance for shifting or breaking. Planning on giving it a highway try out this sunday for the Boggy Creek ride. (Bruce Rosymers HD to boggy creek camp).

Don't buy the Lindby bars, I have a new set I just took off of my wifes 1200C because the shifter would hit the bar when downshifting. The people at Lindbys were very rude, they didn't have a set in stock so I bought them from a local dealer and Lindby said I got what I paid for and if they didn't work then they couldn't help me. When you adjust the shifter up so it wouldn't hit then you would need a club boot to reach the shifter! But after that shining endorsement if anyone is looking for a set I have them, there is only one small scuff on the bottom of the shifter side that you can't see unless you are under the bike.
