Handlebars GS650

[cberkeley]

Does anyone recognize this handlebar?
I got it with the bike, does not appear to be stock and I like it a lot (looks good I think and real comfortable for me).
Just curious as to the origin.
Cheers, Cletus

And yes, those are the original GS650GL gauges.

Clubman bars are often installed upside-down from they way they are pictured above. They're a way to get clip-on racing style bars onto bikes with standard handlebar mounts.

Ah... OK! Well, I figured the guages were OEM. As for the Handlebars, that's interesting info. Actually I find them very appealing on the bike both from cosmetic and comfort/control viewpoints.
