GS750ES Mods - Looking for rearsets and lower (shorter) handlebar holders

[Guest]

Hiya. I've had my 1983 GS750ES in storage for the last 20 years, and just got it back in running shape. I've always wanted rearsets and lower bars, but never bought them when they were readily available back in the day. Does anyone know of a current source, or have any that they're willing to part with? I've inquired with Raask, but haven't heard back yet.
Thanks!

I thought the ES had the lower bars already.
You might have to look at Tommaselli clip-ons or Tarrozzi from these guys. Nice adjustability.

The ES risers appear to be a little shorter than the E model in the parts diagrams, but they are still pretty tall - about 80mm from the top of the fork tube to the centerline of the bar. I remember seeing some in the late '80s that looked factory, but were much shorter. I suppose it is possible that the previous owner put E-model risers on my bike back in 1985, but I kind of doubt it. Unfortunately, the parts diagrams don't give dimensions. I'll have to pull out my shop manual to see if there's something in there.

Normal clip-ons, or ones like those in the link probably won't work, as the top of the fork tube only sticks up about 10-15 mm above the triple clamp, and there isn't enough room below the triple clamp to work with the fairing. The stock ones actually bolt down to the top triple clamp rather than gripping the fork tube. Maybe lowering the front is an option...
