#33215 Roadkill1962 (User) ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Platinum Boarder Posts: 3213 7/8" bar adapter? 4 Years, 10 Months ago   OK, since I've been "blessed" with these 37" long gorilla arms, all bars I've tried just feel a little too close to me. I've got the Baron's Star Bars on the bike now. I don't know if I want to go to a full drag bar, since they are a little too narrow for my taste. What I'd like is something with very little rise and pullback, but fairly wide. I found these, sorta like the ones off the old KZ1000, but they are 7/8" bars, and all risers I have are for 1" bars. Is there any way to adapt them ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HANDLEBAR-HANDLEBARS-KZ-GS-XS-XJ-CB-750-350-900-1000_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ35592QQihZ007QQitemZ170060827251QQtcZphoto Thanks, RK   Logged     “To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.” - Thomas Jefferson   The administrator has disabled public write access. #33216 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:7/8 4 Years, 10 Months ago   Here's a thunk on the problem. How about maybe 2 inch pullback riser mounted backwards so they move the bars forward   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #33229 DayStar01 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 89 Re:7/8 4 Years, 10 Months ago   musky took the words right out of my mouth. I've actually seen that done by a guy who is 6' 7" tall. His bike didn't have a windshield, but even with a shield it ought to work unless you have a windshield pouch & then clearance would be an issue. If you try Musky's suggestion, post a pic. ken   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #33231 Roadkill1962 (User) ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Platinum Boarder Posts: 3213 Re:7/8 4 Years, 10 Months ago   I actually like the idea...hadn't thought of that! And I would do it in a heartbeat, but the only problem I would have is the riser-mounted Pro-1 tach. Guess I could rig a mirror on a post to the from fender so I could see the tach... There's gotta be some relatively flat bars out there...somewhere...
