I've searched and there is Bikemaster this and that, but still can't quite find a clear answer what is the stock or closest to stock handlebar replacement? I noticed that mind are slightly bent(believe it or not, haven't notices it and I got the bike in July) and I want to replace them. Plus, it's a cheap way to make it look better. Mine are chrome but I'd want black.. possibly new bar ends as well. Thanks guys. :cheers:
While at it, anybody have a ignition switch with a key for sale? It's REALLY sticky and moody. LOL
EDIT: I just found one thread that seems to have the info. Looks like Bikemaster GP touring is the closest match? Anybody on where to order them in Canada?
Superbike bars are the closest I've seen that are available everywhere. They're a HAIR more shallow than the stock bars, but if you turn them up a tad you really won't notice much.

Your stock '94 bars are chrome? That's odd, I have a '94 with stock bars (I think) and they are black, I didn't know they came in other colors...

Did you buy yours new in 94? Cuz the previous owner may have swapped them on you. As far as I knew they always used chrome bars on the GSE... I have seen newer GSFs with black bars though.
i have a set of superbike bars i have been trying to sell for about a year now.
PM me if you want them i really liked them i just have a katana front end now

No, I didn't buy the bike when I was 12... But still, the project bike I have has all kinds of stock bits I'd never seen on my other '94 GS. It still has all of the rear fender, the stock airbox with stock filter, the tool kit and even the owner's manual. It even still has that little rubber thing that hangs off the end of the front fender to make it longer. This bike is as bone stock as I've ever seen...
Well in that case I have a set of CHROME stock bars for you if you want them... my Superbike bars just came in (Cuz they're black.. lol.. and I was sick of chrome.)
I'll send'em up to ya if you want'em. PM me.

I'm pretty sure these chrome ones are stock. The bike in question:

Those look like stock bars (and a damn sexy bike) to me!

I think black bars would compliment the black engine nicely.

Huh, good to know. I wonder what bars I do have on the project bike then... I'll have to go look at all the wiki pictures again and try to figure it out...
