Your current mc is tilted --- it should be level. or at least nearly so. The stock unit has an angle mount so that the mc is level.

I installed Emgo European bars, but plan on getting superbike bars if I ever get around to replacing the mc. a tilted mc looks wrong.

Ok I understand what you mean now. You are correct as the current MC is angled too far with the bars in the normal riding position and I had planned to change bars anyway.

Superbike and clubman (turned upside down) are my thinking as well. My son wants drag bars. I told him when he buys a bike he can put any bars he likes on his!

Don't fix it until it's broken.

I would go ahead & install superbike bars. Those Ltd bars are the worst.
