Which replacement bars

[Shinsei Jutsu]

If you were gonna replace a standard set of bars on a naked bike, what would you go for and why?
Just looking at Renthals and they do highs, mediums, low, very low, streetfighter (what's that?) and flats.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of each, and what would you go for?
For me it will be to fit a new Hornet 07, but I think in most cases for naked bikes the changes will be the same.

Thanks in advance.

streetfighter bars are almost straight like drag bars i would go for some medium renthals without the crossbar ive seen them with the crossbar on an sv and it looked odd.

Clipons..cafe racer styleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Shinsei Jutsu]

There's always one :rolleyes:

[Viney]

Now, you fool, you will need 2, one for each side!!

[Shinsei Jutsu]

:lol: you's funny.

I was thinking of the flat bars, but have no idea if this would mess the handling up or anything. I would have though, as they are lower, it would put more weight over the front and make it more stable? Is that wrong?

[Warthog]

I'd go for low or ultra low, when I was looking to replace mine. In the end I got a cheap pair of bandit bars off ebay but they turn out to be slightly higher than sv ones! Oh well...

[Shinsei Jutsu]

are the ultra low ones wider (much wider?) than a standard set of bar?

[Viney]

You can always cut them down.

Mates getting some renthal fat bars!

I would say low. At the end of the day, its not an irreverisble mod.

[Shinsei Jutsu]

I don't mind the wide option, it's just getting the bike in the tin can after.

ooo Fat bars, haven't thought about them yet.....(goes to find details and pics)

there are bars called clubman style. they are shaped like a W curved. if you want the same aggressive style as clip ons that would put in the lower racer stance. but if not go with draggs. there are many companies out there. I got my set off of Ebay for my SVS. superbike bars. $25. U.S.

clubman cafe style

[Shinsei Jutsu]

They are vey strange, I will have a look in some shops to see some bars in person, and work out which I like. It's not too much money wasted if I don't like the mod in the end anyways, so I can always revert back.

Is there a Rictus around? I'm sure he know plenty of this sort of thing
