I like the stock bars, but if you run over 70 or so, they are tiring. I generally ride on roads where under 70 is fine. Blazing down the interstate, something more forward, like a Daytona bar, would be nice.
One of my 1000Gs and my BMW R80RT had that kind of Metzler tire. I was a little disappointed in them compared to how much I liked Metzler 88s and 880s in the past. Still pretty good though.Last edited by 850 Combat; 11-30-2013, 12:51 PM.sigpic Too old, too many bikes, too many cars, too many things

My 79 GS1000L is sitting next to this in my garage. ( still not running)
I don't know what superbike bars look like. How do they compare to my stock L bars?
Anyone got a pic superbike bars?1980 GS1000G - The Beast - GOING... GOING... yup, it's gone. I'm bikeless !!! GAaaahh !!!

I'd seriously agree with everybody else up above...consider the stock bars!
I've only got half-a-bike compared to yours! but my bike came with two stock options...
Both are good,(I guess the low ones suit your link-they are also reasonably priced!) but if you plan on a windshield, I'd choose the taller type- without some wind, the lower type can be "felt", though on THIS bike, they are preferred. The taller ones are now on the 400T, which has a stepped seat, more like yours and the lower bars are just a bit a stretch on the T-I think your forearms should be level when comfortably riding...if you find yourself "stiff-armed" in a corner, I think this is bad...
