Title: handle bar question
Post by: 88gta on September 24, 2005, 05:33:16 PM
Kinda new to riding and the board so please bare with me hear. I bought my GS from a guy a couple months ago and the bars were bent, well do to a stupid error on my part they are bent worse now and are causing the  throttle to rise to 5 grand when I turn left. Point is I need a set of bars, I know that srinath makes them and to be honest I want a set for my bike but right now money is wrong, I am looking at a set of bike master bars to  get me by for a few months till I have the bucks for the others. Can any one tell  me which bars from bike master I need, I think it is the super bike set but not sure.  :dunno:

you can get any bar you want...i guess it depends on what kind of riding position you want. there's one that's very close to the stock (you can tell by looking at the pictures). or you can go more aggressive.

one thing you have to remember is you have to drill two holes on the bar with aftermarket bars (which can be tricky).

Well the thing I am concerned with is the center is it 4 inches on the GS???

you mean the width of handlebar clamps? i doubt you'll have a problem with that...

yes the clamps is what I am worried about I measured mine and it looks like four inches I think I will order the superbike bars and be done with it for now.
Thanks for the info.

I think it would have to go the other way...   You'd have to stop waving.

Take your hands off of those things and... SPLAT!   :mrgreen:
