            I'd have to say that Denydog's bars are different dimensionally than Tornado's. Deny's look to have a longer rise.

              Yes, Denydog's look like stock bars. Tornado's look like superbike bars. I know this is a matter of preference but I like the superbike bend much better. The stock bars put you in too much of a 'sit up and beg' position where your torso is like a sail in the wind and your arms get sore from pulling against the wind. The superbike bars let you lean into the wind so you don't have to pull so hard with your arms. Mine are comfortable enough that I did an Ironbutt SaddleSore 1000 this year............

              You can get many different bends of handlebars for pretty cheap. Cycle-re-cycle has a decent selection for $24.95 and less, but no black:

                  "83's" were black, "82's" were chrome. If anyone has a stock set of "80" thru "82" GS 750 or 1100 "E" handlebars, I'm interested. I had no luck in the wanted section.

                    I had ordered my superbike bar through the local dealership. Cost was $15. I think they use Tucker/Rocky as a supplier. Black or chrome.
