Title: sm2 bars!!!!
Post by: jon841 on December 18, 2006, 07:38:06 PM
omg......these things are amazing , finally recived them and the changed the look of the bike so much! my riding postion is comfrtable now and  wind resistance is also better cause of the body position on the bike. im so glad i didnt get clip ons! the install was a breeze too, it took about 45 mins and no headaches! :)

thanks for the advice guys!

+1  These bars put the sport in the GS.  I rode on stock bars for about 3 grueling weeks.  The sm2's satisfied me right off the bat.  They changed the ride for the better.  I was contemplating getting rid of the GS before I got the bars.  After I installed them, I fell in love with my bike.  She's a keeper.

how about to instruct others that have no ideas what you are all talking about, get some before and after pictures overhead and side-view (with rider on bike) so we can "SEE" the differences.. Thanks

I think he's asking for pics of the older CBR clipons chefod put on.  I could be wrong.

Those are known as kiddie bars   :laugh:  senior citizens require bar risers instead so they can still walk erect when they get off the bike.   :thumb:
