    Clubman bars

    Has anyone put clubman bars on a 1980 GS1100E? I was wondering about comfort and if they hit the tanks.

    I have a flat drag bar on my 82 GS1100E.....and HATE it.
    At least the previous owner didn't replace or cut any cables.
    Superbike style bars will be going on soon.

    TOO long a reach, I wear a 37 sleeve 8O


    No problems hitting anything as they are flat. The clubmans with their bend may impact on the tank.
    And don't forget cable lenghts may get in the way.
    What about mounting the brake master cylinder? Will that be a problem?
    It should be level, not angled.

    Too long of a reach for me, and into the wind with no shielding.
