I have an 81 xj1100 and would like to put "normal" handle bars on it. I am asking for any tips I can get.

Just ME and my 82 XJ 1100. Mac 4>1-2 1/2" open baffle shotgun, no octy, K&N pod filters, LED tail/brake light & directionals, 750 FD mod, Ear Cannon air horn, modified bars and dash.

Around here, "Normal" is a VERY subjective term!!Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

clutch adjustment
be sure you adjust the clutch before test driving, I accidently removed a couple of bricks from the house because I forgot to do this.

Edited for unattentiveness, you said you have an XJ. My mistake
The XJ bars are adjustable, if you are looking to replace them because they don't fit you well.Ich habe dich nicht gefragt.Comment

Hey Just,
A few folks posted a while back about getting some risers/clamps from an XS650 to put in place of the XJ's fancy clamps and bars. You can probably find them on Ebay in the 650 parts, might have to just pick up a spare 650 triple tree to harvest them from, you can't just use the 650 TT, don't believe it will fit, and the fork tube are smaller on the 650 anyways!
I don't know if an XS11 upper TT will fit/work with the XJ's lower TT?
