    Intermediate bar between stock and Daytona?

    My '82 GS1100E has "Daytona" bars on it (original receipt for the bars calls them that). I also have the original stock bars for the bike. The stock bars feel too high and back and the Daytonas are a bit too low and far forward. Can anyone recommend a bend that is in between these two? Thanks

    Renthal 754. Check there website and do some measuring. I like the bends and height on these but I have long arms.

      That's a tough one. A European Touring bar has more pullback (4.8" vs 3") but less rise (2.4" vs 5.36") than a Daytona Bar (based on Bikemster specifications). That combination might work for you, but if you are already finding the Daytona bars too low, I suspect not.
