    Tarozzi clip-ons from Fastfromthepast.com. Several configurations are available (high-rise, low-rise, offset and standard). All are adjustable for angle, which is unusual in clip-ons. I use the standard, which lately I've had mounted above the top triple-clamp ('78 GS550E).

      I decided to finally pull the trigger on a clubman swap from my stock 850G bars. I am a little concerned with the cable length going from the tall "prancing pony bars" to the much lower ones.

      Would it be a wise investment to switch to shorter length cables, from say a Katana or something similar? I have read up about rerouting but I am worried that the existing cables might simply be too long. Thoughts?

      Edit: I looked up replacement cables on Z1. Can someone who's done a similar swap measure the lengths of the clutch and throttle cables for me?
      I went from stock to superbike bars on mine. I had to play with the cables a bit to get it to act right, but when I can afford the down time I'm doing this...
      Nice cheap upgrade for those with lower bars - The GSResources Forums

      Part numbers and all provided by Nessism. Mine works OK with the rerouted stock cables, but with the way I had to route the clutch cable it rubs on my left knee while I ride.

      I haven't had them off so I don't know the lengths, sorry.

        Truth: Thank you for finding this for me. It is much appreciated. Sometime next week I'll post up my new shiny bars and cables.

        Edit: Thanks Nessism too!!

          No sweat my friend. Thank Nessism! All I did was luck out on search terms to find it.

          I do love a good bike pic!

            After trying various different bars on my 1000G the ones I found the most comfy and could ride behind all day long where the stock Suzuki 650 Katana bars, also came standard with the weights in the ends and that nice black chrome finish. I also have the S bikini fairing on the bike and they worked well together.

              I have drag bars on 6" risers. I like the feel and look of drag bars and i dont have to lean over as far with the 6" risers.
