    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.

Here is a before and after of my new bars that I fitted this morning.
Im happy:D

What you think?

Originally Chrome Superbike bars? I am guessing 4" rise, 4" pullback?
Going to Chrome Dragbars?

They look good, but the real question is...Are they comfortable for you?

I am of the opinion that if they are comfy and work for you, who cares how they look?
 
Yep, I think they are way better, but I guess Im well used to the leaning forward thing due to past sports bikes, so I find it easy.

Looks do help too though:)

Yes, gives it that tough hooligan look. Any one wanna race ? I gotta believe youre a less than 30ish GSers. When you get closer to 50ish youll want those grandpa bars back ;).

Now do away with those grandpa mirrors.....
 
Nice looking bars but the lollipop mirrors don't compliment it. I would recommend shorter mirrors or, my favorite, Napolean mirrors.
 
Ha ha ha..your close, Im 33yrs, and yes Ive hung the old bars up in my shed for future use;)

The mirrors are next to go. They are not the originals anyway, and they are too long looking now with those bars.
Im on the look out though, shorter is the way to go.

I even thought of leaving them off altogether after looking through old bike pics in magazines as you dont have to have them by law here, but they are handy I guess....
 
I did try and tidy the cables as best i could, and i find it handles way better.
But, i am having a bit of trouble!
Please see the post i stuck up here today.
 
Well, they look good, hope they are comfortable for you. (I know they would not work for me. :o)

My question, though, is where did you get the grips? I am looking for some like that. :-k

.
 
Got both bars and grips on ebay. I will try and get you the item number steve. Picked them up handy enough too.
Yes, I much rather this position:D

The grips fitted on nice and tight, though they are chrome effect they do go with all the rest of it on my bike I think......
 
I'd look into bar-end mirrors with those bars. I'll bet you can't see past your elbows with those others. Looks really slick.
