Trying to choose some me bars as my ‘77 came to me with a super bike bar. I’d love to see what you guys are running and how they look on your bikes.

I used 1983 CB1100F 3 piece bars to get the height down. I like them a lot.

You can see them on the bike near the end of my build thread: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=62011

Not sure what style you're after, but I went with a quasi-cafe approach. Didn't want to go crazy on the budget. Picked up a modified drag bar on a whim.(not straight, but with slight taper). I ended up kind of liking it and kept it!

It's not a 500 mile a day bar, but was dirt cheap fits the theme of the motorcycle.

I have a set of used Honda CB500X bars on mine. I changed the bars on the CB500X and they were leftover. They fit good and have a comfortable position for me. I changed the masters and the reservoirs are level, the stock ones were too angled to work right.
