    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

ok I have an 85 gs700e. and the stock rise it really tall and every clip on I find doesn't have any rise at all. I don't want the flat clip ons I am looking for something that has about 1 to 2 inches of rise and can be adjuste so they don't sweep back as much. I there anything out there???
 
Katana ( and I mean real Katana) have about an inch rise, 1150es have about 2 1/2 inch rise.

the original katana clipons are LOW! yes they do have a small rise but they still aim down from that rise,. im as low as my friends 96 RF600 atleast. they are great bars IF you can find a set.
 
If your open to something besides clip-ons, check out some motorcross bars. I believe mine are YZ bend. 2.5 rise about 3 pullback.
Lots of motocross choices out there.... 70's Yamaha RD bars are similar to the motocross bars, without the center brace.
 
Datona used to make clip-ons for this bike. They mounted to the top triple using the stock attachment points and will clear the ES bodywork. Otherwise any 37mm clip-on will mount to the tubes themselves. You would probably need to mount under the top triple in this case. Keep in mind that the air interconnect between both fork tubes sits just below the top triple. This would require use of riser bars to keep them from being too low. Helibar makes riser bars that would work. Also look on Ebay for older bars such as the Datona's. I will post a photo of them on my '83 750ED. Good Luck, Ed

How does one go about mounting motorcross bars. Is there an adapter to change over??
 
gs700es and gs1150es handle bar heights

gs700es and gs1150es handle bar heights

ok since it looks like bars from the 700es and 1150es are shorter and a much easier swap.

Can anyone help me out with some measurements. Inside and outside of the bars.

Thanks
