check out the bars on a 09-10 Triumph Thruxton very cool. Kind of a cross between drag bars and clubmnans

i do like those...  dangit!!  the decision here is kind of a big one!!

ok, so what kind of bars will yield a more aggressive approach to handling?  i've ridden some "streetfighters" before with MX bars on there, and they were comfy and i felt like it was easier to dip into the turns because my CG was higher.  thoughts?

what about a bar like that?  it's cheap and it would fit the GL top clamp right?  this is another issue the superbike bars would address, cleaning up the clamp mounts without shaving the clamps off!! 

another question, what's the spacing between clamps on a '76 GL1000 front end?  it's 7/8" as well right?

Hi mate, when i had most of my Honda4's in the 80's i rode them as hard as they could be ridden on the road and i used superbike bars on all of them. I have always braced my frames and used steering dampers.
I had a friend back then that raced his with the same bars..

Clubmans look cool, and "make" the cafe look.  However, I took mine off and went old-school (stock).   Way comfortable and still looks fine.   I'd vote fro Euros.  If you're going to put any miles on it, you dump the clubmans or clips eventually.  Just not practical, except around town for fun.

Quick question - I believe I need a 37mm clip-on for my 76 cb750f but fastfromthepast lists the fork tubes http://www.fastfromthepast.com/servlet/the-1097/Honda-CB-750-F1/Detail as 35mm. Which size clip-ons should I order?

I believe all the CB750's had 35mm fork tubes. If you have any doubts, measure yours before ordering.
