it's wider, pulls back farther and is taller... you'll more than likely need longer cables or creative routing.
Go here to find stock demensions of the GS's bars.

Hey please let us know what you figure out.
Bars are for sure in my future.
Friend has a GS750 with those bars...they're really wide but they pull back too far for my taste. I'll stick with MX bars.
I just want to say the Daytona style Bikemaster bars are $16.14 at xtremerevolution.com.

The measurements are slightly different, but probably not $70 worth.

thanks for the link. thats the kinda thing i was hoping to get for replies
I am kinda liking those clubman bars, seems kinda close to having clip-ons. Has anyone tried that bar yet? The superbike bars are looking good too?
I put clubman bars on my project bike. I didn't really like it. It's more forward and lower than clipons. I'll send you mine for cheap if you want to try it.
i thought about the clubmans but i am trying to get away from leaning that far down. the drag bars i have now i find myself putting to much wieght on my arms so i wanted to get something where the wieght was more centard than forward

Same thing I am looking for and for the same reasons. Please let me know what you find. I will do the same. :cheers:

Solo started the thread so he has dib's, but if he dont want them I will give them a shot if the price is right.
well tell ya what if they are a good price ill take them and if i dont like them you can have them oklahoma_mike. how much you want for them chuck?
How about $8.50 (half price) plus shipping? I'll try to figure out what shipping is.
As a bonus, it's already got the holes drilled to locate the controls.
to tell you the truth the holes dont really matter cause the little prongs on the controls kinda broke off. but let me know what shipping is. oklahoma mike if you can come up with the money before i can then by all means get em man
Ok. Are you at Whiteman AFB like it says in your profile (65305)?
yeah sure am

There yours man, you started the thread. 8) If they don't work let me know what you don't like about them and we can probably work something out. :cheers:
I am liking those LTD! Might be too much back and up, but I might go that way and see
Think I am going to try the superbike bars, I want to get alittle more forward on the bike but not too much. I saw some clubman bars on a GPZ550 at the local bike shop, looked alittle too 1970s for me. Would like to see them on a GS F model before I totally write them off though, anyone have pics?
