        Trevor, how much lower, wider, back space etc. would you estimate the Renthol bars to be?

        Brake lines look great. Nicely 'dressed.' What grommets did you use to fit them into the fender bracket?

        And those shocks......look great. Good ride / control?
        Thanks,

        I'm a bit dissapointed in the bars. They are called "low street bars"vfrom Renthal but are only about an inch or so lower than my original ones.

        So to answer your questions...

        1 inch or so lower

        about 3 inches os so wider, which is what I like. I founf the stock bars to be too narrow.

        Pull back would be about the same.

        As for the gromments...I had a bike mechanic budy do the install so here are some more close up pics...

          superbike bars, cb400f bars, & more. look into the drop, pull back & hight of the bars for your satisfaction.

              Thanks redstedman, I wanted what I have on my 750..either they are european bars or superbike bars.
              I will look into it and might have a set of renthal bars for sale.

                I upgraded my 750E with the banjo bolt pressure switches, no more mechanical switches now. A light touch triggers the brake lights too.
