Suggestions for Handlebars

[fgrable@sbcglobal.net]

I want to replace the buckhorn bars on an 1980 GS 550L. Anybody have some suggestions based upon their own experience. I was considering a 12" rise ape BUT it would probably be two gawky. I'm alos looking at the following two styles:

This has a 7" rise with 9.2 pullback

This has a 4.8 rise and a 7.2 pullback

I think the latter style was similar to what was on the old Honda CD750s

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciate.

Get yourself a 1000E/G bar.

Same rise and almost the same pull back, but no buck horn or awkward wrist angles.

A lower rise would be a CB750 handlebar or a T380/550 bar for even lower yet.

Thanks, I'll start looking.
