So anyone know where I could get some cheap cafemen handlebars? I have aftermarket ones on now actually.. but I wanna see if I like the feel of cafemen bars.

They have a 5 inch drop, that usually doesn't work on the GS, they also are very wide.
Cool.

alright, Well maybe not cafemen than? but something that curves inward a little bit? the way the ones I have on now, Really kill my shoulders, Idk if thats my riding Pos, but I think if they were just about 1 inch curved inward a little bit. it would quit hurting my shoulders.

Also, I didn't mean aftermarket cafe handlebars but aftermarket handlebars, not stock GS 1's

You mean clubman bars (or Ace bars)? You could try superbike bars or drag bars - I'm not sure how well they fit though.

Well.. Actually I know this may sound very, umm.. REDNECK, But would anyone know if you could make handle bars out of PVC pipe and than paint them with some fancy paint or something? LOL it might just work...

Yeah, they work for mock up purposes. As soon as you hit the brakes while riding, it will snap and flip you under the front wheel though.
