Hmm I think that drag bars would fit the look I am going for on my bike. Am give me good handling as well.

As with any handlebar change, would consider and assure clearance between handlebar fittings and the fuel tank at full wheel stop in both directions.

It may be necessary to decrease front wheel travel.

Ample clearance may prevent or reduce size of a tank ding resulting from a bike tip over (where bar end is often bent closer to the tank).

Good Fortune! :)

I have drag bars on my 650b, I ride daily throughout most of the year. I love them and have no problems with clearance to the tank, I did have to change my master cylinder to get it to clear the speedo... It was an easy swap and gave me an excuse to get a stainless brake line... don't forget with lower bars you're gonna have a lot of extra cable unless you get shorter ones. Mine came from z1, and I had no problems at all!
