  • Beg, borrow, buy, steal, rent.. Standard bars?

    I put this in other parts of the forum as well, but might as well put it out here as well.

    I am working with a reputable dealer to make SS brake lines for all models of the XS1100. The lines when done should be available in both kit and individual pieces. I have pretty much all I need to pattern these lines and clock the fittings, (so they will fit everyones bikes when done) with the exception of a set of original bars for a Standard. Both of my Standards have aftermarket bars on them. Would anyone have a set of bars for a standard they are not using? Even bent bars would work as long as the brake handle side was intact and any damage was on the left side. If I could buy, rent, borrow, steal a set of Standard bars for a couple of weeks while I ship lines back and forth for fitment puposes it would be great. If you have a set I can borrow, I would pay shipping both ways.

    Please let me know either PM or reply on this forum. I am in Canada for shipping purposes, and Prefer either Canada Post or USPS for shipping as it is the cheapest way to go. I did try Andreas and he has nothing by the way. By the way I need original bars here, and can not slap on any old bars as these will be the pattern set of lines that the rest will follow. Thanks to any or all who may help me in this endeavour.

      Nate. The Yamaha parts fiche shows the same part number for all standards including the H. I myself am not familiar with how much height difference there is but it must not be much. The clocking "should" be same as E,F and G Standards, but I am not 100% sure. Good question though and I had to look it up to be sure. Thanks

          There is a dealer in my town that has a used standard handlebar for $20.00 that is not in the best of shape chrome wise or I would have bought it. If you want to buy it for your purposes let me know.

            Nubian. There is a set offered for sale here that I am dealing on. If that falls through then I will message you and get you to buy em and ship em to me. If it comes to that do you want paypal or money order or what type of payment? Thanks for showing interest.
