Looking for a set of stock handlebars, or something similar. Anyone?

Mine were bent when I bought the bike and needed replaced.  I wasn't about to spend $80 on OEM, but I found the recommendation for Bikemaster Superbike bars on the wiki:

The cost me about $22, work good, and look good.  Hardest part is drilling holes in the new bar, I think.  Maybe someone around here can sell you a used handlebar for cheaper though.  Good luck!

Thanks. I just ordered the Superbikes yesterday; harder to get a stock bar than I expected!

My local dealer has stock or after-market type stock bars for $24. I didn't think they were hard to find.

Didn't even look at the dealer, didn't think about it  :cookoo: whoops. I was looking on the interwebs and trying on here with no luck for a used bar, thus why I said it was hard to find.
