I'm looking for new bars for my K8 naked - I'd like something slightly lower and slightly wider. I presume people have done this before so I'm looking for recommendations.
And what do you do with the switchgear - punch holes in the new bars or file the pins off ?
Thanks ....

file pins off then black nasty where your going to mount them for extra support (inside)

Just got Rethals Low road for my K2 naked
Hopefully fitting them tomorrow.They need narrowing a bit for me.
Got them from B & C Express, but think Streetfighters do them ( with a discount )
These may suit:
758-01-BK: Black Road Bike Ultra Low (unbraced) (http://www.bandcexpress.co.uk/handlebars/22mm-7-8-bars/758-01-bk-black-road-bike-ultra-low-unbraced.html)
other colours available. They are wider but may not be lower - Yorkie Chris will know.

Cheers. Those look good, but l'll need to check out the worry compared to standard. I want them wider but hadn't really considered they could be too wide !!!
Would quite like short levers and black mirrors too, so if anyone has pics of a set up like that ...

Ultra Low are narrower than mine, but can also be narrowed.
Best of luck with it!
