New Gladius owner. Renthal ultra low bars?
 
Hi,
First post here. Picked up my shiny new black Gladius yesterday and am loving it. Done the sportsbike, cruiser and classic thing over the last 20 years and always wanted a funky little v twin roadster. It was a Monster or the Gladius and having ridden both I'm chuffed I got the Suzuki.
Ok, first question and I'm sure someone has asked/posted this before. I love the look of black Renthals and was just wondering if anyone had fitted a set of ultra lows? I'm guessing they fit fine but looking for confirmation.
Cheers.

Mods so far...hugger and a fender extenda....this is gonna' get expensive!!! :)

I have rental flat bars on my SV. They have a bit of sweep but no rise. I like them because they put just a little more weight on the front end, and I think they look good.
I'll putvsome pics up when I get to my laptop.

Excellent, cheers. I've always loved the look of Renthals (too many issues of Streetfighters as a kid!) and reckon some black ones would suit the bike a treat.

You're just jealous because mine is like a clean version of yours. (Minus a few cc)

BTW Canterbilly, sorry to derail your thread.

Haha...don't worry, it's not a proper thread until it's been hijacked for comedy purposes so derail away.

Love those mirrors and the bars look smart. I was looking to fit the Renthal ultra lows as opposed to the flats, just find the flats too...err flat!
Oh, and thanks....I've now added a Sat Nav holder to the ever growing list of things that I 'absolutely cannot do without' :)
Great to have a choice of accessories too, my last bike was a VN900 Custom CAF and you could hardly get anything for them without going down the chrome, leather and tassel road....and that's a bad road!!
