Topic: Which bars would look best with my bike?

[DammitDan]

Here's the look I'm going for, without the riser off the triple tree...

 


Which of these bars would you choose?

That's about what I was thinking...

It was between the superbike and the GP touring... but I think the GP's would be too short.

I have a set of these in black going on my CB
They are "Daytona" bars from Flanders....
I had a 1/2 '' cut from each side to get them alittle tighter.....

I have had superbike bend, clubmans, broomstick, and drag bars on a cb750 and the one I liked the best is the superbike bend. Super comfy and closest in bend to the factory euro handlebars. second is a set of drags, then borrmstick, then clubmans. Dead last on my list is stock hinda mini ape bars which just suck if you do any kind of perf riding.

One that I have heard a lot about but have never tried is a cb400 supersport low bar, basically a superbike bend with less rise and pullback and a tighter curve, popular with the DOHC cb750 supersport crowd. Here in the states the cb400 bar is very expensive but in canada it is less than half the price, so if you can help it buy it from a canadian dealer and have it shipped.


BTW loudfastugly burned down earlier this year so I don't know how successful you will be at getting parts from Brian.

I prefer the low culbman as well as euro, cafe,  also, depends on the width of your ride.  30inch, is comfortable.  Drags and brooms tend to be shorter in width.27" to 29". unless you find a compamy that has wider widths.   The perfect size for my 750k4 is 31.5

The clubmans on loudfastugly look too low and pulled back to be comfortable.  And I want bars with less of an angle to them.

And I've been talking with Brian, he seems to have things back under an amount of control.

The clubmans he has actually aren't that bad, the problem with clubmans is how you mount them on the bike. They are usually not comfortable for people over 6' if you don't have rearsets. the tomiselli clubmans are probably the worst when it comes to drop because so many people don't mount them properly and the stock signals get in the way.

I bought a ton of stuff from brian right after the flood happened, I'm glad he is back under control with things.

You can actually mount the clubmans 2 ways so they don't have to be THAT low, but i had them on my Guzzi and hated them. I have superbikes on my 400 and they seem a good compromise between low and forward for "riding in a lively manner", yet not too much weight on your hands/wrists around town.

I went with the daytona bars too, I think I remember the specs form dennis kirk revealing that they are just an inch or so higher than superbike bars, but not too much different otherwise.

I prefer the look of the Drag Bars if you can get them the right length.

My 2 cents worth!
