After an accident when the pain goes away you realize that you have a decision to make . Rebuild or buy new . Here are some pics of my rebuild . I have moderate mechanical knowlege and a manual . I know that this is not for everybody but if you like to tinker , it's very doable .

New risers . drill and install.(made for a harley ,mount in a 1/2" hole)

Then it was alot of removing broken parts and bolting on new parts . Any rubbed chrome I painted wrinkle black just to keep the cost down .

Looks good. I Like what you did with the risers and bar.
Yes, I used the stock controls but I made a 3.5" relocation kit similar to what Grumpy makes . I'll get a pic on the weekend . My bike is a little buried in the shop right now .
Thanx, they turned out just the way I wanted . As an added bonus my 6'4" butt fits on the bike way better . Now I barelly hit the back of the seat .
