Ye'sir !
Here they are. "Double"-adjustable: ( more Click HERE)

Love'em. You can adjust them to exactly the position that feels best.
Just need to clean up the top/old bar-attachment, don't I.
but what you've got on your Bulldog Bobber looks much straighter than the picture of the bars you provided.
What are the straighter looking drag bars that you've got on your Bobber?
Sorry, I don't recall the brand of the old straight bars.
Also, have you thought about integrating the cables into the handlebars and hiding them away to get a sleeker look to the front of the bike?
Nope,
but I am in the process of rebuilding ( just cleaned it up and glass-bead blasted it )
this old brake master cylinder from a CB500
to get rid of the original ugly plastic fluid reservoir, and replace it with this
good looking all-aluminum thing

Love your work.
Thanks McLeod, for your kind words!

H-Daddy; you're too kind.

Though I do not believe you're right,
I thank you humbly.

I too am really glad to see you back here.

I understand the "Bonneville Sickness" all too well. :-)

Hoosier Daddy is right on in what he said. As good as it is, the board wasn't the same without you here.

Your workmanship and style are unsurpassed.

When you go back to Bonneville, why not take your supercharged Goldwing and see how it would do?

Thanks Piloto !

Good to "see" you again !

It would be great to bring the supercharged Bulldog
but getting that thing across the pond and back is
rather terribly expensive, and the Indian-project is,
sort of, killing me financially already, I'm afraid.

I'll shorty open a thread about the Indian in the
"General Motorcycle Forum".
BTW; who the h*ll is General Motorcycle ?...never heard of him.

He used to be Colonel Motorcycle, but he got promoted to General.

What would be the approximate cost to get the Indian and the Bulldog to Bonneville and back home? I bet that many here would kick in a few dollars just to see a Goldwing on the salt. I would.

There are still 6 or 7 months to go, so that should be plenty of time to raise the money.

I'm going to start a thread in "The Club House" and see how many could kick in some money.
