    Higher Bars for 1980 GSX750ET

    Hi guys,

    I have the above model bike with the lower bars fitted as standard. I have seen my model bike (in both 750E and 1100E)in adds with higher bars similar to G bars - it must have depended which market the bike was meant for or was perhaps an option. The vast majority of new bike adds from the time that I have seen have the higher bars.

    I have attached a couple of adds to show the bars I mean.

    I am wanting to fit a set of these higher bars to my bike - I'm not old but my body is! Can anyone tell me if these were a bar specific for this model or if they were just G bars or earlier E bars?

    I imagine it would be fairly expensive to ship bars from the US? Haven't had a lot of luck finding a set here. If anyone in Oz has G or late 70's E bars they don't need anymore please let me know.

    cheers

    this is the same model and colour as mine but with the high bars. I think it may belong to a US member here?

        Don't "Bikemaster" sell bars through the bikeshops there? Very cheap & decent enough. Several different bends including one not too far off stock G.

        www.z1enterprises.com can get them & I believe he ships international. The ones I just ordered were $18!

            Salty Monk - thanks I've looked at those before and the bends are closer to what I have now, then they have something more extreme like an L model which I don't want.

            tkent - would like to hang onto my old ones - PM sent.
