Post by: Yev on April 25, 2008, 02:30:42 PM
Hey guys would SM handlebars from a FZ1 fit on our bikes?

I don't know, as long as they're 7/8" I would they that they'd work. You might have to drill new holes for your controls.   What's the reason for buying those instead of the gs specific ones? Is someone selling some for cheap?

Yeah I got a local guy selling them.. not sure if they are going to be cheap or not yet. But I want to ask if they will fit before I talk price.

Could you ride over and test fit? Kind of a pain, but you'd be sure whether or not they fit.

Ouch, yeah that probably wouldn't be feasible. I saw you posted about the set in the for sale section, if those are in good shape I'd get 'em.
