Just a shout out to those that found them on Brettuns Village and passed them along. I got my first pair a couple of years ago. Got my second pair today. Free shipping and perfect fit with quick shipping. I ordered them Friday and they arrived today (Monday.)

Thanks again to those responsible.

I posted something similar a week ago or so about being able to get them wholesale for half the price, from the people who supply to Brettuns Village, but there does not seam to be much interest. I may just open up an account with the wholesaler and call it good...

From what I read, there was still some confusion on the width and the way the handle mount. Do the handles your talking about have the flat mounting plate that matches the kustom handles or is there other work involved in making them work?

They are the exact handle that Brettuns Village sells. 4 1/4". I am taking an assumption here but if Brettuns fit so will the ones from Ohio Travel Bag. I am going to create an account with them and order some in. They are the wholesaler that sells them to all of the retail places.



Update: I just opened an account with them. When I get my password and all from them I will order up some handles and install them, and let you know first hand how they fit, but I am sure they will be just fine..

If the Ohio Travel Bag's are identical to Brettuns, they will be perfect. As I mentioned, this is my second pair and they've both been correct and effortless. Even with less than perfectly symmetrical metal handles, they worked super and quickly.
