New guy in Calgary with CB750

Howdy

I just purchased a '76 CB750 and would appreciate some suggestions with respect to the bike. The bike runs and is in reasonable condition. My intent is to change the items that require immediate attention...such as the disgusting ape hangers and seat that currently are on the poor bike. To that end I am leaning towards drag bars, or possibly a superbike bar. I really like the look of the clubman style bars but I doubt my back will appreciate them as I intend to ride this bike and not make it a museum piece.

I'll need new control cables and brake lines once I change the bars as well. Thoughts and pictures of your bike handlebars and locations where I can source the cables and lines are appreciated. Let me know your comfort level of your bars as well.

I would like to keep the original paint scheme of the bike and slowly change the look of it but polishing and slightly modifying the style. I will be changing the seat to something that is similar to a two up seat on the more modern sport bikes but that still looks classy and understated.  I don't know what the previous owner was thinking when the current seat was installed.... :o

Here's a picture of my new to me, ride.

Thanks for your input.
