I am considering of changing my oem bars for a clubman, but they have like 6 models, can people post a picture of their modified handle bars stating which model thay have/use I am not looking to go "lower" in my ride position, rather the opposite but identical would be best..

cheers  :thumb:

Sounds like "risers" are what you're looking for rather than clubman bars.  The clubman bars will lower your position.

I think you mean aftermarket bars as opposed to clubmans.  The clubmans are a specific type of aftermarket bar that attempt to mimic the position of clipons (they're the closest cheap alternative to the SM bars).  There are many types of aftermarket bars that you can get from Bikemaster, some higher than stock, some lower.  The actual clubmans are the 'A' bars on that page, and they'll substantially lower your grips, also there may be some modification needed to mount them.  I've got the superbike bars, and they're pretty close to stock position, just a little bit lower.  There's probably some Bikemaster bars that will be higher, but I'm not sure which.  You could compare the rise and sweep dimensions to figure that out if you want, or maybe someone else knows.  Good luck finding what you want.

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?
