new handlebar question

[Tarsyn]

I have a 1986 gs550L and I want to switch out the mini apes for more of a cruiser style Harley look. I am a big guy (6'4" 270lbs) and I am leaning toward either the LTD or Nighthawk bars from JC whitney. Unfortunately the pictures don't show me much. I just want to make sure I am not getting any mini apes like I already have. Thanks for any input. Travis

Get drag bars. =)

I have both of these bars, and an 1985 GS550l which should be identical. The Nighthawk do not give you enough room to put the grips and mirrors IMO, and the LTD bars are IDENTICAL to the standard bars.

A better option is probably the Honda 1100 bars or something like that through, erm, some site that escapes me now.

I'm prolly gonna get the Honda GL1100 bars from here. You can see them mounted in this thread.

those bars look about right. You said you have tried the others and they were no good. I think I might give those a try. Travis
