Anyone put them on their GS? If so looking for info on install, brand, pics, etc. I am thinking of swapping out my SM2 bars for MX or Superbike...MX would be first preference.

Thanks

I had a set of yz low renthals.  They sucked.  So wide it was uncomfortable, but the way the bends were you couldn't cut it narrower.  There was not enough pull back so I ended up sitting too far forward, even though I have long arms.  I hated them.  The only time they ever felt right was when I was standing on the pegs!!!! 
My 90 GS500E has spread itself across the nation.

yeah, tried them, didn't like them. They have an upturn, which is really uncomfortable. Don't do it

Got them on my 91. I can't remember the bend. KX highs, I think . I kind of like them, but I haven't ridden far with them. the rest of my bike has too many issues. Carbs need to come off again. Clutch is slipping. Front brake is spongy, and the V&H pipe HAS to go.
1990 GS500, 1979 GS850, 1974 TX650, 1972 BMW R/75/5, 1972 Triumph chopper. All in various stages of repair.

They worked like a charm on my virago 535, and my maxim X, whihc in fact has pink MX bars, so I wanna try em on my virago 1100 after fabbing up 4 inch risers.
On a GS mmmm ... may not ... dunno.
Cool.
