    Handle bars

    Been torn on handle bars for my restoration/bobber project, 82 GS1100GL. I am getting rid of air box and going with pods or stacks and seat pan but unsure on bars. I was thinking Z bars but may have to get longer cables, drag bars or straight bars would use stock cables. Anyone got any pics of their bars? I am 6'0 but have drag bars on my Yamaha 1100 Classic and they are comfy. I am just thinking drag bars with the dipped in seat pan may give more comfy ride and different look. Not a fan of ape bars but that is just me.

    I've got some clubman's on mine and I love that hanging over the edge feeling they give you when you lean in. I'm 5'11 and I find them to be comfortable enough.

      Ended up going with drag bars from Dime City Cycles and just ordered a set if Low Brow fish scale white grips. Doing up the tank teal with silver flakes, white walls, black and polish engine.

        That sounds sick! Makes me want to get a new tank. I'd kinda want it to be flatter or something, so I can surf it
