    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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'm wanting to replace the handlebars on my 1981 GS650L with a new set simular to stock nothing really wrong except crome is a little discolored at top bend.
I found a set I think I want made by Bike Master style Nighthawk that look close to O.E.M. but I'd like imput from the masses.
Thanks.
 
Physically, they will probably fit, as they are 7/8" bars.

The only other thing is if you fit them. Depends on your riding style and personal preference.

I got the Bikemaster LTD bars for my 82 650L and they are really nice. Cheap and easy to install, look good and are really comfortable. I highly recommend them. I didn't like the pullback of the original bars so I went with the LTD over the Nighthawk. Not sure how different they are, but the LTD is really comfortable and everyone who's sat on my bike commented about how nice the bars felt. They also fit the looks of the bike very well. Hope this helps.
 
Try looking through your local auto salvage yard if they have motorcycles. You never know what you will find. I found a set of bars on a blown dirtbike that were perfect for my bike. As well as many small parts and connectors you wouldn't think about
 
Don't know if you got anything yet, but I have a set of stock "L" bars off an 1100 that I don't need. You can have them for the cost of shipping if you want. They look decent enough. Will probably shine right up with some chrome polish. I can take some pics if you want. Just let me know.
