« on: April 28, 2011, 01:13:05 PM »
saw this on the partsnmore website, always been curious about what bike its meant for... almost looks like track bicycle handlebars, also curious about how the controls would be mounted

Looks like a Yammy bar from the 80's.

yep, just google Yamaha 650 Special...not quite the same as the earlier XS 650 that are so popular right now, also check out the bars on Kawasaki Ltd's from the same period...sit up and beg-o-rama ;)
If it works good, it looks good...

Controls are mounted the same as with other bars.

I think the Kawasaki Spectra handlebars were quite wierd.
