You talking the bent drag bars or the clip-ons?

Renthal.... FLY Racing.... or any 7/8" bar you can find will do the trick.

Hey there...that's my 550:)  The bars in the first pics are stock. The next set are drag bars off of a 2009 Yamaha crotch rockety Sport Bike. Forget the exact model. I can get ya the part # later if interested. The drag bars were 40 bucks or so from Yamaha, a bit more than some sources, but are super solid and very well made. These withstood two falls being hit while parked without bending or damage.

The MC and throttle assembly are a tight fit on the right side with this set up but everything functions quite well once assembled and the riding position is very comfortable (Im 6'1/165). Did 450 miles in a day without any problems or sore back. Let me know if you want the Yamaha part # and I'll see if I can help.

I just checked- The drag bars are off a 2006 Yamaha FZ1. Part # 2D1-26111-00-00. Looks like they have them at
http://www.yamahapartsnation.com for 27 dollars. The Bikemaster drag bars I previously used were only a couple of dollars cheaper but were worlds apart in terms of quality. Wouldn't purchase those again but would consider the FZ1 bars for future projects.
