[buff]

i have a gs1000 hc with the flat type handlebars, i want to try and change them for something higher so i will have a more upright riding position,also i will need to change all the cables, any suggestions to what type of bars would suit

Not sure what you are looking for but I bet you could scratch up a pair of stock L model bars from the classifieds area here.

Daytona or Superbike bars

A lot of us run with these, as they are a little higher than straight bars, but have a better riding position than the original wheelbarrow-style bars on the early GSes.

Handle bars

I got some Renthall superbikes in mine lovelly with Gs1000s fairing

[GS750]

until last week I had them flat "drag" bars on my ole GS750, my arms were in noticable pain after each ride......

I recently obtained a new set of bars with a 3 inch rise for AU$30, they are soooo comfortable when compared to the drag bars, It makes me wonder how I tolerated it for so long!!!

It is honestly just like riding a new bike!

Yep planning on getting rid of the racer bar to. Back, arms and neck cant hack it. Anyone know if there is something similar to these 'L' type handle bars? Or get me some measurements to go by? Right now i'm looking at the buckhorn bars from OBB.

I, like the origional poster am looking for a more upright 'cruser' position. Being 5' 11" hunch over on my 750 isnt very enjoyable. Hopefully the bars will change that.

I am 6' exactly, I just got my new bars from my local bike wrecker (breaker / scrapper etc), he had them on the wall for AU$30 and after discussing my flat bars, he said to just take em and try em and return em if I didnt like them. Within minutes of my first ride with them on, the bike felt totally different, and my arms did too! My bike is now a total pleasure to ride!

The bars are very similar to these http://www.oldbikebarn.com/part.php?...ategory=Handle Bars&bike=&DisplayPerPage=20 but they are 3" rise.

I have an L bike and don't recommend their bars. If you want to keep them Suzuki GS brand, go with the G or E bars. Your choice should be personal, depending on how far up from the triple trees, how much pull back, and how wide apart you want to be.

I say go to your local bone yard and check out everything thay have to see what you like. If you don't buy any from them cause they're rusty or not good quality, at least you'll know the dimensions so you can order them.

I have a stock set of G's I could be persuaded to part with.

I changed them mainly cause they "tweeked" my wrists. I also get a lot more feedback through the Euro's.
