First mistake - im a poor college student and live at home (thus sharing a garage)

2nd mistake - not having a better place for my bike while they are re-doing my garage (so they all feel they can move my bike)

A while ago they tipped it over and broke my clutch lever... well i fixed that.

Now i go out and my hadlebars are bent GRRRRR

bottom line is i needed new ones anyways so what should i get? (1990 gs500)

P.S. if you know anyone who wants to buy a 1987 kawasaki 650sx or a 1993 eagle talon TSI and live in the western  michigan area, let me know THANKS

P.P.S.  money is an object, so the less expensive the bars the better  :)

get some aftermarket dirtbike bars off of ebay.  I have had two pairs on my bike, both renthals and they are awesome.  alittle wider and not as high.

the cheapest way might be one of these:

you'll have to drill your own holes for the control stubs

My hunch was right...Pandy is the biggest Post Whore!

scratch

I got the G. Daytona bend and it will sit you up noticably, you'll feel like you're in the sit-up-and-beg position. The G.P. Touring is the closest in dimentions to the stock bar (27.5" width x 3.5" rise x 7.5" pullback/sweep), but a little lower. If you get the Daytona be sure to cut at least a 1/2" inch off of each end so that you can still use the stock throttle and clutch cables and the stock brake line. Cut off 3/4" to get it to stock width. Depending on the shop, you should be able to get these for around $15.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

On the website shown perviously
( http://store.azmusa.com/knclubhanbla.html )
would something like choice "A. Clubman" work on my bike?
Would it be a good choice for a more aggressive feel?

from doing some searching i have found that the superbike bars may be better for me...

I've been considering getting those Bikemaster Clubmans to try out. They have a pair at one of the shops here for $18ish. I don't mind drilling, either. If you get them we expect lots of pictures.
