I was thinking about getting a different style of handlebars for my 79 XS11 Special. Anybody have any pictures of various aftermarket bars to display so I can get an idea about what different styles look like? Anyone know a place I can go to look at examples? Thanks!

There's the clubman handle bars I have on my 'not running very well' XS. They're neat.
I also have the bar end mirrors I bought at a bicycle shop for $15. They are also a good time.

Hey Corey,
Go to this link:Handlebars on MikesXS
And you can see a variety of styles and how they look, on a 650, but it's close!?
I have a set of early model Honda GL1000 bars on mine, still get a decent pullback, but the angles for the wrists are much better than the BUCKHORNS, a few others here have gotten this style and also are happy with their feel, and look!
Happy Shopping.

Thanks. The headlight came off of a GS850. I used some of the rubber gas tank mounts to mate it up to the standard headlight mounts."Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut." - Ernest HemmingwayComment

.. these are K&N superbike bars, they are the best for good handling [centers your weight over the bike] and for highway speeds with no fairing [helps you feel less like a parachute]
.. handlebars are really a matter of personal preference, go to your local bike shop and sit on some bikes with different bar styles, that may help you to make a decision
