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. Shin |

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.

![]() ![]() 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? |

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...

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

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. |

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