Title: WTB Handlebars or 89 clipon for GS500e
Post by: stacky on January 27, 2012, 03:44:13 PM
Bike was tipped over today and the handle bars were bent up to the sky  :cry:
I need a new handlebar. I'd to switch to something a bit lower profile than the stock 2002 GS500e handle bar if at all possible.

Let me know what you guys have got!

For a 2002 with the larger tank, stock 89's will not fit without modification and tweeking of them (shim the clips or bend the bars).
The European/Canadian type 1 will fit without modifications. European/Canadian type 2 will not fit. Those were available NOT in the US but were in Canada and Europe 1990-2000.
There are threads and photos showing the differences in all 3 types of OEM clip-ons.

I have a stock bar or...  a slightly lower bar, but it's chrome.

You can have either one for cost of shipping.
