Has anyone seen or used drag handlebars on a gs650
is it great or does it suck I found a set for under 20 bucks had the thought but wanted some feedback

I use 'em on my 77 GS750, the main problem is that the master cylinder banjo bolt can hit the top yoke (triple clamp?). I've used a pair of bar clamps under the bars as a cheap way of raising the bars 1" to get the clearance back. Longer bolts needed!

it's tight but can be done.

here are some pics of my bike. i found i needed to turn the banjo bolt?? 180 degrees (useing the brake hose as pivot point so you can visualise it) because the steel hose peice going to the banjoe bolt would hit things because of its bend. so i just made it point in teh other direction.

how strong or tough is your back, with drag bars they can really make a persons back sore on long rides but it does make the bike handle/feel like a completly new bike.

The biggest problem is the lines and cables on the handle bars. Most dealers say to sit on your bike holding a broom handle to figure out the dimensions of your new bars.
