81 gs650e, handlebar help

[Guest]

Hey guys, my bike tipped over the other day in the garage and my right handle broke in half . I'm wondering if you guys can recommend some handlebars. Looking for something as close as possible to original. Thanks!

The handlebar broke??? Or the switch housing?

Superbike bars are always the best bet as far as looks and sportiness without leaning too far forward. It depends a lot on the footpeg position of the bike, the rider's reach and height, rider's average riding style, etc...
Daytona bars are slightly taller but still respectable. Drag bars (flat) with slight sweep back are a little more aggressive. I prefer superbike or drag bars, and am actually looking forward to trying on clip-ons to bring my arms down and back a bit over superbike bars.

find some replacement GS handlebar controls on ebay for your model if that is what is broken.

The throttle handle is literally broken in half. Not the whole bar, literally just the handle metal. No idea how it's possible but whatever. Honestly it's still rideable i would just need to have the throttle at a weird angle.

Thanks for the help. No it's the actual bar on the right handle. It needs a new handlebar completely. The switches and stuff are all still good. Thanks for the help.
