GS1100G handlebar - where can I find one?

[Guest]

Hello,

I am planning to replace the high handlebar on my 1982 GS1100GK (fairing removed) with a GS1100G handlebar.

These handlebars seems to be be unavailable these days, tried eBay too.

Is anyone aware of a source of the OEM item or a close aftermarket match?

Thank you!

Oldgsfan has some 850 parts. One of his parts bikes looks to have stock bars.

For what it's worth...

The early 850 and later 850 use different handlebars. With the later bike the seat is lower so the handlebars are too to maintain the same relative position. The late 850 and 1100G share the same chassis so I suspect the 1100 bars are lower than those on the early 850.

Thank you, Ed, I am looking for slightly lower, slightly narrower handlebar than what my GK has. I will measure my current ones to have a starting point.

Have a look at the Bikemaster bars. I've used the Daytona & the Euro bend with good success. Others have used the superbike. I currently use Daytona with a 3/4" spacer block under. I keep saying I'll try a set of the GP ones someday which may be about what you want from what you're saying.....

The 1000S clutch cable is a good way to get a shorter one. You will find that you can loop the extra brake like back by the headlight housing.
