Two-dimensional velocity fields have been used to determine the dark matter properties of a sample of barred galaxies taken from the BIMA Survey of Nearby Galaxies (SONG). Preliminary results indicate that the maximal disk model is not appropriate in several galaxies in our sample, but higher resolution results will be needed to confirm this.
