    Handlebar change GS850

    Has anyone fitted the handlebars from the custom version to the GS850G.

    Will all the control cables reach?

    My bike has had "streetfighter" type straight renthal bars fitted.

    What is the standard width and rise of bars for a 1981 GS850?

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Regards to all.

    PS Trike passed MOT yesterday so out on the road today - at last.

    Never done it but I'd be very confident that you would need all new cables - the custom bars are a lot higher than the normal bars (don't forget when the Yanks pipe in that their standard bars were higher than ours so the definitive would have to be from a European - maybe an Aussie, SA or Kiwi - who has done the swap).

      Custom bars are out then.

      Can anyone give me the width and rise of the standard bars please, I really don't need the hassle of having to change all the cables.

      Thanks
