Want Lower handles YES OR NO?

[Alphamazing]

Yeah, I just saw them there ... There's actually a pair of the SM1 on eBay .... the their website says that the bars fit '99s-03's. Did Suzuki switch clamps sizes?

Would these work for my '98GS?

Thanks, Scott

From what Pablo says the SM1s will work on the GS, but I haven't seen it done. They probably won't work on the '03+ SVs because of the different tank shape. I have no clue though, just making guesses.

So between the supersport and clubman what compares closest to the SM2 bars. Like the SM2 but they are really pricey(may as well get the vortex clipons for that price).

If you want sporty go with the clubman. The SM2s are nice because they mount to the stock clamps. With the Vortex clip-ons you have to remove the top plate pretty much, and that top triple clamp ain't exactly pretty.

I like the way the SM1 /2's look .... they got a littl' bit of "nasty" in 'em!!!

Likewise. It's the clubmans, but modern.

so then... Clubman is somewhat the old SM? same kind of stance... am I right?
I want something more aggressive than stock, but something comfortable for long hauls (not too much pressure on the wrists) so would the 'superbike' bar mentionned earlier be best for me?

Clubmans have a super agressive drop, with classic round lines. SMs have a similar design, but straight bars with brushed aluminum instead of chromed.

Superbike bars are close to stock, just a little bit lower.

I recently did a 600 mile round trip (300 per day) with the SM2s and didn't feel any discomfort. They're comfy for me, but it could be differnt for you.

SM2s are awesome and are very strong...

Heres a vote for SM bars I have them and love it, they make the bike so much more aggressive. They are by far my most favorite mod I've done yet.

+1

+2 SM bars are the best. www.suburban-machinery.com. check my site for how easy they are to install (I did them at work during lunch).

I've checked your website 
the SM bars are just a little too $$$
I'm looking for a slightly cheaper alternative to 'better than stock' bars... semi-agressive/semi-comfortable

My vote is for the Superbike bend bars; mine are black. They are a good choice for a cheap all-around bar without breaking your wallet or killing your wrists...

Back in the day, some riders would flip their handlebars upside-down for a more agressive posture (known as "Poor-Man's Clubmans"); some of them worked well that way (I rode a friend's RD350 with PMCs while he rode my cafe racer with Superbike bars; it was an experience), but be sure to double-check clearance to the tank and every other component, or you could find some "custom" dents in the tank...
