If they were $100 I too would grab one. I just cant bring myself to do $175 for a grab bar.

I've been interested to but $175 is a little high. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but the quick release side brackets are like $200-250. If I'm gonna spend that much I would be happier with the quick release.

Re:Rear grab bar/Landon's Bar. 4 Years, 11 Months ago  
I have one of the bars smhowse produced & if you think $175 is too much you've never held one of these in your hands. The weight alone tells you this is no flimsy tubing chunk & if I recall, the 'seconds' went for something like $130 + shipping & the flawless ones were in the $165 range. To produce new tooling & sell them at $175 is a steal IMO. Nobody has ever produced a similar bar to the Landon for $100 for good reason. I suspect these will also be of high quality by the way it sounds like it's put together.

I already have mine, but if I didn't I'd be glad to shell out $175 for one delivered & I'm one seriously cheapassmofo.

Cheers

I also have one that was made by smhowse last batch and it was worth every penny I spent on it. Own one of the first Landon's grab bar and sold it, then regretted it and was glad to get another one. Would never sell it again even if I was offered $200+ for it.

Here is the one on cruisercustomizing for $75. Do you think that one like this could be made also to help cut the cost down.
