Handlbars

Greetings! B)
Am pondering putting more comfortable handlebars on my '75 Z1-B 900 Kaw. :woohoo:
Thinking if I put on a pair that have more length towards the rider maybe make it a little easier to do those longer rides. Anyone changed theirs before? Thoughts? Suggestions for some hanldebars I might like? :S
Thanks

I put Super Bike bars on mine I love them. Had to drill some hole to pull the wires through. No big deal take your time, make your that if you have to drill holes that you de-burr everything. Use some lube to to get the wires through.

Is it possible that rotating the current bars back a little would help? I ask because I have seen some bike pics in which the owners have the bars rotated forward a bit too much leaving the grips at an awkward angle. Ed
