Re: Commander Handlebars
I would be wary of stainless steel bars. They are generally much thinner steel tubing and bend easily in a spill. Not up to the job IMHO. They are made from thinner stainless tube because thicker tubing would be too hard to bend without kinking.

I believe they are U.K. spec Triumph T140.Derek F.
Re: Commander Handlebars
Many years ago I bought a set from Graham. I asked him how strong they'd be and he said that they were the thickest that his maker could still bend without kinking. They are certainly thicker than the originals.Can't really say how strong they are in practised since I haven't dropped the bike though. And they're still shiny.
