I'm looking to get the low bars.  Trying to decide whether to go with Flanders... http://www.sideroadcycles.com/ImportedMotorcycles/ImportHandlebars/BMWbars/MaguraBMW.html
or the BMW low bars.
Flanders are a bit cheaper.

No winch on the Jeep?

Years ago I owned one of the original, tiny Subaru 4wd wagons. Before a military transfer to Alaska I bought the Subaru optional brushguard front bumper and winch (small winch but enough for the little car). Driving up the west coast we stopped to eat somewhere in Oregon timber country and I thought the guys leaving the diner were going to fall off the steps laughing at this little winch and 4wd. Just their winch was almost as big as my entire car.

I'll admit that the Jeep is mostly utilized by my wife.  She always wanted a CJ7 and we ended up finding one with a chevy v8 small block engine that is so loud it tends to set off other car alarms.  She loves it and I have a hard time getting to the keys before she does.  No need for a winch as she mainly likes it for the top down, doors off drive around town.  I'm sure Jeep lovers would be wincing right now...
