How about tittie bars?

Took me a minute to work out what you were on about, there's no scratch on the tank. That's just an unfortunate reflection in that photo. I couldn't cope if I actually had a scratch like that!

Paintwork isn't great but it's not bad either. On the list for 'one day' will be a respray of the tank, side panels and tail piece.

Daytona bars with 30mm risers are perfect fit for me. Without the risers I felt like I was stretching a bit too much and sitting too close to the tank. For me, risers required replacement of aftermarket shortened brake line with a new 17 inch line.

here you go...




Much better, but if I was going to buy them again now they're on I would try and get slightly wider ones and possibly even lower still, maybe even drag bars - but that's just me, I'm used to modern sports bikes and clip-ons.

Oh and as you can see, no scratch on the tank.

...no scratch on the tank

Indeed! THAT is a NICE tank. (envy) ...and the black plastic is very nice! un-faded...you must be using a "plastic restorer" too? (I've recently "discovered" these..)

I don't know how you guys do it with such low-bars on a "four". they seem too long in the frame for me... but anyways, I THINK I can see you'll need be careful of the black paint on these does not seem to be as tough as chrome from my experience with the hand-me- down ones I use on a 400.

That was my issue with the Daytonas & SuperBike's, both were too narrow.

bobgroger, that offer to ship different bars for GSR members to try is a cool thing.
Wish you had offered that up 3 years ago, because I, like you, bought several different bars trying to hit that 'sweet' spot.
It would be cool to keep that sample box in circulation, take what you need, pack your discard and send the lot on.
But of course there would be just a collection of 450L buckhorns after a short time. lol

I dont think I'd have a problem with the narrowness of those bars, tge clip ons from the kat600 front end were actually really comfortable for me.. after i got the seat situated.

Rental has a great selection. They are aluminum, so are thicker on the inside.
The older BMW bends are nice sport touring bars, but are bit ninside.If they are to wide, pipe cutters work great to get the width you prefer. ZRX and Yamaha XJ650R(Seca) bars are a nice bend/height
