Making it look "right" would be a bit costly unless you had access to a bunch of parts bikes. I didn't like the original bars, they were dumb. Too wide and high. Out of proportion for that bike. I used 700s bars on my VF11, the original ones were too high and too narrow. I'm not that much of a purist that I can't understand making a bike feel better, fit better, work better. The S bars are expensive but work on almost everything. there are so many adjustments in them. Rotate, pull back, etc. --- On Thu, 7/9/09, 01-ZR2 <[email protected]> wrote:
