Handlebars made out of a small "I" beam with holes in it would be cool--would look like a straight front axle. Of course, that isn't something you are just going to find in a catalog!
I tried being serious, but it was boring.

Had to sread things out a bit for 3 spd wheel...Trying out a diiferent front wheel,I would like an older skinny ribbed tire.
But I got the space between top of tire and fork I was after ,just like the big gap gassers have from tire to fender..
Trying out some straaight bars,trying to stay away from the typical turned upside down track style...I am after all
going for the drag strip look.....Feel free to comment,throw different ideas my way...I can take it...

Thanks guys!!! I got lucky finding that seat,the faded red matches perfect....
I'm not digging the straight bars so much after looking at pics...Might just have to go with upside down ones...

Also found out spray paint doesn't work well on grips...It don't dry so well..hahahaha

If you try again on the grips, try krylon fusion for plastics. Who made that seat ? I'm looking for something similar. Looks awesome on that bike :D

Mountain bike bars might work well. They aren't straight but won't have the drastic drop that your flipped cruiser bars have.

Those pedals are pretty cool. The big rear tire and small front tire look good too. The seat is nifty because it has a racing stripe on it!

Think I'll stick with the "drop" bars..Thinking of getting some white grips..
I have a brand new black shifter cable,but I think a white one would look better..
