I have read the deferent options for handlebars..I know this has been talked about. I just wanted an update WITH PICS. Has anyone changed there Uly handlebars? I sorta like the position I'm in when riding (besides being hammered by the wind), I just hate the crossbar and clutch cable in the way. There is alot of talking about this but not very many pics. thanks,James

Check This thread

Also, searching for renthal yields a ton of results. Someone here has renthal highs on their lightning, I was thinking about going with those or the renthal mediums from AMS (also has pics of various bends)

Pro Tapers are another option. Many have used the Countour Raptor. Here's another thread

I just changed from the Raptor to the Pastrana FMX - lower and not as swept. Not sure what I think of them yet. At least they are not gold like the Raptors I had - but that is another issue.

I'm using a set of Pro-Taper Fat Bar Charmichael bend on my Uly. I wanted a more forward leaning position and less pullback.

I think I'd like a bar with the same height but less pull-back.

I rode a 1200GS that felt about perfect to me.
