Title: Handlebar replacement
Post by: Mock on July 04, 2015, 07:13:56 AM
Hello

I've been trying to find a decent replacement for my stock handlebars that have become bent. Through browsing the forums I've read that the Bikemaster Superbike 7/8" bars are a good fit for the GS500. They have the added bonus of looking very sharp.

Originally I wanted to go for a streetfighter/motorcross handlebar that had minimal backwards angle (such as Renthal Fatbar), but the Superbike ones are the closest that I've come to that style. Has anyone managed to add such bars?

Does anyone know where I can find the Superbike handlebars that are featured on the Wiki (http://wiki.gstwins.com/index.php?n=Upgrades.Handlebars)?

Many thanks.

I have superbike bars on my GS and I really like them.  I did a quick search and here they are on Motosport.com (good price but I don't know how much shipping would be)...

And on eBay...

If anybody else knows a cheaper place I am sure they will post soon  :D  Maybe you could also check in the For Sale/Wanted section on here and find them even cheaper!

Good luck and post pics if you get them  :thumb:
