What are some of the main differences between these two sets of bars? I've noticed that a fair number of people on the board have one or the other. Are they totally different in design / feel?

srinath bars > *
better english for you?
ss = seshadri_srinath
* = Mak being a nerd
basically... Srinath bars > all
Yes, but why? Also, is it a moot point altogether, or is Srinath still making them?
Chilly
I think he's still making them. I like them because I'm a site and community supporter...the cool shaZam! from us small guys is the bomb no doubt all time.
I agree with you there! It's important to support your community. :thumb:

I hope not nerdy at all...
...cause I understood it too. :oops:
I think it's more of a common sense thing than nerdiness...
srinath's are a lower knock off version of the sm2 bars--> lower cost, lower quality. not bad in and of themselves, just not in the same league as the SM bars. Will still get the job done.
My 4 weld's were SM knock off made frm steel instead of stainless.
My 2 welds were totally different, where I dropped the idea of having SM look alikes and just bent the center parts. The 2 welds fit the 90-00 bike like nothing else. Its actually better than 89 clip on's that they are based off ... it was better than anything I have seen on a GS. Drag bars, superbike ... whatever.
4 welds on the other hand fit the 01+ ... 2 welds did not ... the choice is limited for the 01+.
I am working on making a 4 weld type bar (will fit 01+ ) that wll actually be like nothing I have ever made, or even seen ... O0 ... watch this space, but its definetly comming soon.
Cool.
Srinath.
I have the SM2 bars and they are great :thumb:
