In an effort to improve my GSTwins Karma I have the stock 98 bars sitting around collecting dust and was wondering if anyone would like them.
All you have to do is pay for shipping (paypal)
Trwhouse ... I'll call it for him. 6 months is a long wait, so i though you want 2 trw ... No ...
Cool.
Buddha.
Yeah i saw the other thread wasn't exactly sure was going on with those other bars for him. Tr if you need em let me know. I got them mounted on the front of my truck like longhorns, j/k
We're gonna need to see pics of that you understand ... Maybe trwhouse dont need em, I was just piling on.
Cool.
Buddha.
Should have all the pics uploaded tonight!
Hi,
Yes, I still am looking for bars. None of the others have been definite yet.
I'd definitely like them if you are giving them away and they are in good, undamaged and unbent condition. :)
I will look for your pics.
Thanks,
Trwhouse
And thanks for looking out for me, Buddha. :)
Trwhouse I sure hope you get a set of bars soon you have been looking forever.
TRW are mine not going to work for you because they are from an 05?
Hey there,
Any pictures of these bars yet?
:)
Thanks,
Trwhouse
Sry GS got a clogged fuel line last night and left me stranded on the highway, after I got it home I just went to bed. When I get out of work I will grab the camera and uplaod them for you. Sry about the delay. But now I get to coat the tank and check the valves on Saturday. Hooray for forced unplanned maint!
Hey there,
Do you have those pix yet?

FINALLY! :D
yeah, apparently my uncle went to vegas and "borrowed" my digi with all the pictures I took of my bike, so I ahad to get a buddy's. Sry took so long, lol.
TR, I measured em and they are straight, the second pic is against a line in the driveway cause I can't seem to find my yardstick :)
Hi farakin,
Thanks for the photo.
Wow, they are pretty rough, but at least they look straight! :) Man, what happened to them?
I do appreciate your help.
So how much do you want for shipping them to me?
Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to refinish them???
Is this the best set of used bars I can find out there? Anyone else have some that are not damaged but don't have to be refinished? :)
Yours,
Trwhouse
i would just sand them down real good and then paint them black. super easy fix and should look like new.
You have been looking for how long and now you find a set and you complain they are rough looking? lol Yours must not be to bad then if you finally find what you need and might pass?
Sand and paint or sand and powdercoat. The guys before me spray painted the bike flat black, and did a horrible job once you all see the pics. They are straight, I guess that is all you can ask for.
It would most like cost you around $20 for a powdercoat if you know anyone in your area.
Hi Farakin,
Hey, man, I really appreciate your offer for the bars, but I had also been talking to some other GStwinners on the board and found some that are inexpensive, in perfect shape and don't need to be repainted.
So I will pass on your bars, but I want you to know that I REALLY appreciate your very kind and generous offer.
If I can help you out some time, please don't hesitate to ask.
Best wishes, and thanks again, man.
Yours,
Trwhouse
Oh, and by the way, to UTGUNSLINGER,
You know what they say about opinions, don't you bub?
It's very true.
:)
Thanks for yours.

Mine are in the same shape, painting bars is the easiest thing you will do on a bike. Im hacking mine up now. good luck on the search for perfect bars, sorry I couldnt be more of a help. I was out of town with the AF all weekend anyways and couldnt really get to replying to anything. I dont think you will be 100% happy with my bars so its just best to save the trouble of returning and sending back and so on that I just use them.
I would take the deal this guy has! Free bars just shipping! thats a steal!
im thinking about paying the shipping sanding painting and saving for the just incase day.

Well at least we can all stop listening to you whine about not having bars. PRAISE THE LORD :angel: :thumb:
Whining?
Whining?
I wasn't whining.
I wasn't doing any stinkin' whining! (see reference to "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre")
You want to hear whining?
Don't even get me started. :)
That was just me looking for bars. OK, so it did take months, but that wasn't my fault.
I never even got started whining about them. :)
But no problem.
I think all is well now.
And I really, truly, honestly do appreciate how everyone has been so helpful with this, even to the point of offering up free bars that needed some paint.
This community we have is a very cool place.
Even when there occasionally is some whining.
Not that I did that.
:)
I may want to throw an "installing my used handlebars" party soon. I'll let you all know the details.
Best wishes,
Trwhouse
lol....a party, just invite 2 screwdrivers over.
So, who wants em?
I could just mount them to the front of my F150 like longhorns.
xncnc is getting em...thaks guys, sorry they wouldn't work for you T.
