Didn't want to hijack Gazza ss750's thread, but is there a supplier of the PRR / Britain handlebars? they look perfect for what I need, clip on style but not too radical and low.
-
Not clip-on though.
-
We used to call them "Ace Bars". They were like semi-clipons but mounted in the standard yoke clamps.
I don't know if you can still get them?
-
The bars on the PRR aren't ace bars/clubmans.
-
Yeah cheers chaps, I've looked at loads of ace bars, but they mostly really steep bar angles and deep centre sections.
These are the nearest I can find, what do you guys think:

I thought the PRR bars are closer to this, only mounted upside down.

I like ace bars, the only thing to do is buy em and try em, I'm on my 3rd set of bars for my XJR and it still doesn't feel quite right, getting a bike to fit is always trial and error, appearance wise though the bars you pictured look great.

I know what you mean Mark, I've a problem with my lower back, I've a set of almost flat Renthall bars on My XJR, similar to Lester's pic above, they are really comfortable I can shift weight from legs, to wrists etc. as I feel the need.
As for the CB I'd like the current build reasonable comfy, but when I get to a CR Rep I don't care if its a bed of nails as long as it looks right.

With my XJR I started with 60mm risers and standard bars, then renthal lows, now renthal medium, I still think they need to come up another inch though before I'll be really comfortable, I had a Tiger before the XJR and the riding position was perfect for me, in fact sod it I might just sell the XJR and get another Tiger, I agree re the CR though, it just has to look right, it's not as though it will be used for touring, the ride to the IOM is gonna hurt though! :o.

I had a set of Jota bars on my CB750F2. Multi adjustable but once set in a comfortable position I took out the middle section & welded the outer sections to the middle section.
