Title: Superbike handlebars - fairing/chinspoiler
Post by: Blackgk on September 18, 2008, 11:50:03 AM
Ok im looking for the cheapest stock type bars for my 92 gs500. I read that the superbike bars are cheap and a good fit, but when i look at the number of variations it's a little overwhelming. Pullback rise blah blah, can someone tell me an exact model or part number so i get something that fits with no hassle?

also, looking for a source for a mini fairing/chin spolier combo, something that looks nice and isnt too expensive. Looked on the targa website, but couldnt find a model for the GS, but they did sell the replacement windscreens for the model for the gs, so i suppose its been discontinued. Anybody point me to a current source?

Thanks a bunch!

I can get the factory ones out to you for $65 tho I realize that is a long jump from the aftermarket

appreciate the offer, but i think I'll go aftermarket for the bars, some things i do insist on OEM for but bars shouldn't be a prob...

my bars are 28" end to end, most of the ones I see listed are wider...

when I got my superbikes I had to cut off a little over an inch off each side to make them match up to the OEM bars.  You don't have to, but I wanted as slim a look as possible.
