Curious question about handlebars

1982 Maxim XJ650J
Thinking about superbike or european bars with risers. Anyone have a suggestion of where to get risers for my bike from? If they are even available for it. Thanks.

I'm tall, so I don't need risers; but a quick comment: the "European" bend bars have got to be the most comfortable bars I've ever experienced including those on my Norton (and they're quite similar.) I put 'em on both my Secas.

 

Risers are easy to find.
Everybody wants an arm and a leg though.
I've been trying to source some setbacks from Ebay.
Used Ebay are going for about $20 plus shipping.
New Genmar's are over $100.
That a hunk of aluminium can cost so much is a crime.

 

is this what you are looking for, i've just baught some for my bobber, they look the business and no messing with the top yolk.

Yes, lets see how much 19 pounds is.
27.75+3.65 shipping=$31.40
Still not bad.

 

Its a shame about the flames though, they woulld look better solid. though i'm painting my tripple clamps, so i will fill out the flames before i paint. i think it will improve them a lot

 

I was going paint them black, it wouldn't be to noticable.

 

my wife keeps sugesting colorus she thinks i should paint my bobber, she just cant comprehend BLACK IS THE ONLY COLOUR

 

Tell her black works with any color.l

 

what makes her think she has an opinion anyway, has she not noticed the single seat ????????

 

hehehehehehehe

 

back to bars, i found an old set of black renthal MX bars under my workbench, they are perfect and free. So i'm ditching tge raisers and the drag bars.......... all good

 

I was thinking something like this.

 

Bump

 

I almost did something similar. Your pic looks like the bars on this bike. After looking at all of the options and costs, I ended up staying with stock for the X.

 

Are those controls on the handlebars chromed?
(the parts with the run/stop switch, horn etc)

Hmmm wonder where he parks that at night (kidding)

 

why not get something like this here and then fabricate an adapter plate.

 

i wonder how much time and money went into that bike?...It really is beautiful

 

I'd like to be handy enough to do something like that, but I don't have the know how or work area to do it.
