85 GS700e Handlebars

[GS700Jim]

Ok so whats up with my handlbars? they are mounted kinda wierd, on top of the forks not like other bikes where you can replace them, mine are 2 individual risers, I would like to replace them but I may be forced just to take them off and chrome them, they are flat and ugly looking... unless I strip them and polish them to make them look kinda like "Billet" style?

If you want lower bars, the 83-86 GS550 uses the same mount and fork size. The ES bars (550/700) are shorter and droop more towards the tips.

I have some old Telefix clip ons that I have on top of the triple where the stock bars mount. You cannot tell they were not on the bike stock. I think the company is out of business, but they did make nice stuff (fork braces and clip ons).
