Title: clubman bar
Post by: cyrusyn on June 08, 2009, 07:40:06 PM
Hi,
I'm looking for clubman bar for my '00 GS500E.
Went to ebay only to find out that there were several types of clubman bars on sale and didn't know which one would fit.
Would any of these fit on my bike without hitting anything at full lock?

if they are true clubman bars they will all be the same size. I have a set on my 500f I had to use some risers cause they sat to low

the other problem I encountered was that the bars were not wide enough to fit over my forks and had to be cut and widened using a piece of some old bars then painted to cover it.

if you use the risers you don't have to widen the bars I had already widened them when I found out they would be to low. if you have any questions let me know

looking at the two bars go with the wider ones just measure from the out side of the for to the other and see if they fit.

Thanks a lot guys.
I will create a template out of the specs given at the ebay page and test it.
