Guys, I just found a great place for good quality handlebars:
www.thehandlebarcompany.com
They're based in New Zealand and they're cheap (£39/$78 including shipping to the UK). Fast, friendly service too. I ordered the Heritage Western bars, which are - in my opinion - better than the Norman Hyde Western bars both in terms of shape and quality. Quality scale: NH = 4/10, new company = 9/10. One thing I did notice though, if I wanted to fit these new bars to my Bonneville I'd need to extend the control cables too, which isn't a big deal if you have a soldering iron and a little common sense. They have more pullback and are slightly wider than the NH bars. After seeing the quality of Norman Hyde Western bars and a set of replacements (Chrome was terrible on both) I personally won't be dealing with NH again after comparing the quality and value for money between the two.
All the best.
