Author Message   Gonen60 Posted on Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 10:51 am:        Just Kicking around idea of going lower, Maybe more of like a flat drag bar, or even clip on's any thoughts ???   Glitch Posted on Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 11:07 am:        I changed to Flanders superbike bars. They are an inch lower and a 2 inches longer. I like 'em so far. Better handling. I'm thinking going to drag bars myself. The only thing is with an inch lower I have to be careful when turning/backing ect as the bars hit the "tank", but that's only when I'm parking and stuff, of course when I'm riding it's no problem.   Gonen60 Posted on Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 11:22 am:        can you email me an image of your new bars..I want lower, i'm not sure I want longer..   Glitch Posted on Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 12:34 pm:        I'm at work right now. The bikes here but no camera. I'll do it after I get home. You don't really notice the length or the inch lower. That's why I was thinking about drag bars. The only thing I'm worried about is clearance with straight bars.   Gonen60 Posted on Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 12:49 pm:        cool , thanks..can't wait to see it..   Skully Posted on Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 01:32 pm:        I tried some Flanders drag bars on my XB9S with no luck. The switch gear hit the frame and reduced the lock to lock steering travel by way too much. The straight bars might work if you can figure out how to route the throttle cables. The Crossroads approach may make the most sense for moving the bars forward and down without limiting the steering travel. Keith   Glitch Posted on Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 01:40 pm:        Thanks for the info Keith... I wonder if one of these would work on an XB9S...   Gonen60 Posted on Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 02:36 pm:        those Mini Z bars look really cool. skully..what are crossroads?   Geofg Posted on Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 09:28 pm:        Crossroads   Glitch Posted on Friday, July 11, 2003 - 07:46 am:        There was a sever storm last night and my internet was (is) out. As soon as it's back up I'll post the pics...   Skully Posted on Friday, July 11, 2003 - 11:05 pm:        Hey Glitch, Those bars just might work. I've thought about designing my own version of the Crossroads style bars, but the last few days have been extremely hectic. Keith   Glitch Posted on Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 01:40 pm:        Keith: I've wanted to try them but I don't know which would be the best fit. Too expensive to try and hope to get it right the first time. I've e-mailed the to see if they'll use me as a test dummy...   Glitch Posted on Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 01:47 pm:        Pics as promised:   Glitch Posted on Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 02:00 pm:          Glitch Posted on Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 02:00 pm:          Glitch Posted on Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 02:02 pm:          Glitch Posted on Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 02:04 pm:        The bar end weights help a lot too... And with the extra length the mirrors are of more use, I will replace the though with something lower...
