I went for good 'ol drag bars!!!

 

[bobberman]

Dirt bike bars are whats on mine too lmao! i think they look good

 

[newbbuilder]

I read somewhere about guys flipping their stock bars upside down...any thoughts on that?

 

[16VGTIDave]

It depends on the bars. Some can be flipped to lower their height, if they are relatively flat and straight. My bars are way too tall and pull back too far to be flipped. Not that I'd want lower bars, my back wouldn't tolerate that...

are dimpled bars needed for the throttle controls?

or will non-dimpled bars suffice?

going to be pulling the trigger on a set of super motor type bars and a set of clubmans

 

[JaredK]

I put clubman bars on mine. I've got a Maxim, so the frame rises to the front. The riding position is a bit more forward now and WAY more comfortable.

Here are some pics. Next step is to swap out the rabbit-ear mirrors!

See I lowered the rear of my maxim and bobbing it.. I've been looking to a nice set of bars.. Them clubman's look real classy.

U running stock length cables Jared?

 

[Sesty]

so no to needing dimpled bars? ive seen them on several websites and am not sure.

 

[JaredK]

Yep, stock cables. I had to get a little creative with running them around the headlight/HUD, but it was a pretty simple swap. The tolerances are tight: I'm almost up against the turn signals by the levers, and the choke lever BARELY clears the tank when I lock it over. Very comfortable riding position though - you're still upright if you'd like to be, but it's a lot easier to lean in (which is especially nice on the highway without a windscreen, and cornering is very comfortable/natural).

No dimpling necessary for the throttle. Just slipped on and off.

For those asking about getting grips on and off, I just used warm soapy water to get them off, and liquid hand sanitizer to slip them back on when I was done.

All my cable and controls went on my Eurobars without any modifications.

I got a set of renthal's today Will be much better than the cheap heavy steel ones I have now.

 

[newbbuilder]

Yea I dnt like my bars especially after lowered

... Next step is to swap out the rabbit-ear mirrors!

Why not go all the way and have the total, sleek naked look?

All you need is a set of these:
