tradional Drag bars wont really clear the tank.

The best bet is some CrossRoads style bars, they are nice and low, and a little narrower.

Loved mine.

Hi, I put the 30 inch superbike bars on my X-1. They are a bit wider than stock, so you dont have the controls hitting the tank. They are about 1.5 inches lower, and look great.
I like having more weight on the front end, and tucked in a bit more.
Very reasonable price too. Here is the website:
