    That's called a "shift light". It is rpm activated & turns on a light to let you know when you have reached shift rpm. Ray.

      Thanks Ray.

      Should have know. My brain is a bit fuzzy looking at on board cams, and was hoping it was something for this..

            gs1197, i like those a lot! any way u could get a pic standing a little further away so i can get a full view of the bars? a side and front shot would be awesome too.

            Hitman, why didn't you use the clip-ons from the gsxr1100? wrong size for the 1150 sets? just curious. i like your gauge setup too. got a side shot of your bike?

            Thanks for the pics guys.

              I didn't want to go with clip ons because a drag bar style for an 1150 captures the bike's look better. If it was an 82 or 83 Katana though, then the clip ons would look right "at home." Katana=sportbike vs. GS1150=sport-touring. Just my opinion, everyone has their tastes in what looks good.

                  What's up Hitman?

                  I would like to own a set of handle bars like that. Do you make those for other people also? I have the same front end as you. Please let me know.

                  Peace! Supavert

                      If you pull off the plastic over of the top of the triple you'll see where the stock bar risers have a bolt to keep them from rotating. You can bolt a set of handlebar clamps to that bolt hole and use a set of tubular drag bars.

                        there are a couple different ways to add tube bars to your 1150.
                        one way is to get a pair of risers from a 7/8" handlebar bike/dirt bike ect.
                        bolt these to your factory top clamp.
                        its not hard.
                        think about what i just told you and you will go...
                        hmmmmm..
                        i get it
                        hahahhaha.
                        is this was to simple?

                          Same idea as others are talking about, but on a katana tripple clamp:



                          Risers are a random set from a parts bin at a junkyard. There must be hundreds of models of dirtbikes and cruisers out there that use similar.
