Wanted cb550 std height handlebars
deltarider:
Forgive me, but I cannot for the world understand why anyone would want those silly US bars. Thank goodness Honda saved us for that here in Europe.

I would have agreed 30 years ago but I much prefer mine with the high bars.

They install bar-raisers on just any bike imaginable... ???

Don't know what the problem is (free country and all that ). I did my time on a zx7, fireblade and gsxr but by the time I was 40 and having suffered two broken wrists and a snapped tendon in my thumb found I couldn't ride a sports bike any more. Every bike I have had since (ktm super motos and a couple of nakeds) have had upright riding positions, the last one being a street triple which I had to fit 20 mm bar risers to in an effort to take the strain off my wrists. If you're 50 with the body of a 30 year old then fine,fit clip ons if you like but I will stick with my high bars thank you.

Hear hear. After 2 broken wrists and a back repaired with medical grade meccano, I couldn't agree more. 👍
