I've tried sooooo many different kinds/types/styles!! From stock to clip-ons to mx and everything in between. :woohoo:

These I just picked up a new set this week. They are from RSI Racing which seems to be focused on snowmobiles!! They work well enough on my KZ!! ;)

I love the narrow width and low rise. I actually trimmed an inch off each end. :P


What about you guys (gals?). What are you using and why? What do you want to switch to? Why?




Awesome bike, and I like the rsi bars!

Sorry to go off-topic again, but what is that gas cap you have on there, and what year/model CBR tail light is that? Do you detail those parts of your project in any threads on here? I checked your project thread and didn't see anything.

Thanks

Nice bars Drew.
Are they straight, or do they pull back a little?
They look fairly straight in the second pic above.

I've got Clubman bars.
Came with the fairing, and don't have much choice for clearance issues.
My turning radius has suffered a little, but the bars are comfy for me.

Have had various bars over the years, and prefer the low rise or flat bars.
