    handlebars

    im looking for a lower set of handle bars for my 82 450t... and after browsing around here i think ill go with superbike bars... my question is, is that going to be to low. i dont want to mess with rear sets or anything like. but i still need to be able to ride this for 2-3 hours at times and be comfortable what do you guys think

    It's a matter of personal preference. Only you can judge.

    Daytona bars are popular here. A couple of inches taller than Superbike bars.

    To measure is to know.

      I have this set off of an 1100E.



      What do your present bars look like?
      Perhaps a trade?

          That should work as long as they are not narrow.
          I am fresh out of mid/high rise chrome bars and my '78 is borrowing some black bars for the time being.

            Hi Ty, they are both pretty mild bars and as mentioned earlier its a very personal thing when setting up handle-bars and deeming what is comfortable. When its time for me to cover some big miles it can involve 10 to 12 hour riding each day for a few days and I find the clip-on bars on the Kat are fine however, clip-on bars are not everyone's idea of comfort, cheers.
