Come on in and sit on it.
;) Where or how- could I find some guys like these.. just that low profile, swept back bar.
Could I get some from a beach cruiser, or are those too this gauge? Cuz damn. I love these.

Well, what are they for? They make 1" bars around that shape/style for HDs, but they are 1".
 
If i'm not mistaken, that IS a harley, or a cyclone, and also if not mistaken, would've already been 1" bars, so agreeing with above, i think you'll Only find those bars, off a shelf for sale, in 1" OD size. You could make a set though probably. Or just convert to 1" bars.
 
yeah, '25 indian, i have 1" m styles and their just killin me tryin to adapt all the forward controls. so hmm. if any one else likes the style check outa 90's kawasaki KZ1000 police bars, their supposed to be for my lil 360 tho
 
For that swept back look have a peek at old board trackers. Some amazing bars, adjustable too which just makes them even more drool-worthy.

Here are some pics I've been collecting as inspiration for my bars on the SR500 I'm putting together. Likely going to go with Norman Hyde M bars (7/8) but may have a custom set bent for the bike.

...respek,
Yes. I love that dirt track, board track racing style. hard to describe how the function and form kind of play off of each other.
 
bicycle handlebars will work. I know a few guys using mustache bars and some others using cruiser bars from bicycles. I had bmx bars at one point, and went back to them (albeit an actual motocross bar set that is tall). Anyway, the steel is pretty much similar in wall thickness, though the 1inch bars will be heavier duty than the bicycle ones. I wouldn't waste time machining out risers and then overpaying for a set of 1" bars. Just get these bars and save a ton of money.

there is a whole bunch on there that pretty much replicates the look

also, though it is listed as a 1" stem mount, since risers aren't center mount you could most likely find they are in fact 7/8" mount with the use of motorcycle risers. I have a set of factory cb175 bars that are the same exact way, with a 1" center, but 7/8" mounting.
 
I quite like the idea of adjustable bars, particularly the ones on the 'Pope'.
Wouldn't be too difficult to make some clamps like that, in fact, I know I've seen something similar somewhere?
