    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I am looking to replace my original handlebars (buckhorn style) for a lower design. I would like suggestions as to what kind and where I could purchase a drag or euro-style bar that would work on my 79 GS 1000E. I would need adequate clearance for the tank and still be able to mount the mirrors and controls. I would like to hear what has worked for others. Thanks.
 
When I was using my bike, GS1000G to ride courier work I fitted it out with a set of OEM GS650 Katana bars, they worked perfectly, good riding position, no sore back, or wrists.
And I was doing on average 800km a day, 6 days a week.
They look good as well, black chrome and come standard with weighted ends.
 
I had daytonas on my 1100 e, looked great fit well but the buzz made my hands very numb an hour or so after I would finish the ride.
 
Ive got "Superbike" Bars on my 750...very comfortable..filled with sand and bar ends..virtually no vibration.

Stock G model bars are far more comfortable than the buckhorns.
Or any stock E bars if you like them a bit lower.
