            handlebars on L

            I put standard "E" bars off a 1979-1981 Gs750:

            1981 GS750L (sold)
            1981 GS750L (current)
            1978 Yamaha RD400 (RD = Race Development)
            1981 Honda CT70 (86+ MPG at WOT most of the time)
            1983 GS1100GL (needs work: update, gone to a new home)
            1956 Simplex (with a TS250 motor)
            1985 GS1150E (Hammer Time!!)
            1998 1200 Bandit (Rattler)
            1980 GS1100L (Janice)
            Do I continue?

                Thank You

                Awesome. Thank you to all of you. I'm looking into all of below! Z1 bars are only listed at 21 bucks! Dont know where I'd get E Bars. I have to look into that but they look much better.

                Fivetoedsloth- that tiller comment nearly took me out of my chair. Its so true!

                    I know the Daytonas did but did any of the others require cable changes?

                        If you are looking "into all of below", you still have your viewing options set to the default "newest on top". Much easier to follow a thread if you set that to newest at the bottom and simply read from oldest to newest.

                            Mine required no changes in cables or brake lines.

                                The throttle cable and brake line were a bit too long, but I was able to accommodate the extra length with some careful repositioning. Keep all the bends nice and smooth.
