Thanks guys....Slippery, those look like the exact bars that are on jarney's 1K...I had a set made to model those bars....

I like the look of the 900...always did...The 1K bone stock doesn't super visually do it for me but after riding Mark's at M/O in 08 and getting mine last November, I love the way ir rides/drives...Since my 1K was all stock except for the handlegrips I grappled with changing anything...Had this been a low mileage bike that I was gonna ride on occasion I would have left it alone, but I would rather make it mine and do some mods that deviate from stock and yet not so much that it can't be turned back to stock in an afternoon..

In this past spring I rode to jarney's with the stock bars...I noticed the angle that it had my wrists was uncomfortable compared to the 9...Jarney's 1K had bars exactly like the ones slippery showed...I immediately liked them and had my set made...I like those bars and the angles and feel of them, but I would still like to be lower and make the bike visually look lower...I looked close at wuputts 1K at M/O this year and he has stock 900 bars on his and the progressive shocks...I sat on his and was like "yep...that'll do her"...hence all the changes....

We shall see when she is all back together...There are other thngs I would like to change too, but...

These look exactly like Jarney's zl1000 bars. I hope I don't have to use them and if I don't I may put them on the zl900?

Mark...

are you having a hard time finding stock bars?

[zlMark]

The plan is to try to straighten them. I don't think I'll find good used ones

[furchin]

It can be done Mark. I did it to the bars on my 600. Need a big frigin bar for leverage and some heat but they will bend back.

[zlMark]

Holy smoke! I got my eBay bars from Steve yesterday,, super fast shipping and a very nice looking product. I'll get pics as soon as I can!

[Jim L]

I love the bars... how do they compae to stock- are they wider and higher? Do you have any measurements VS. stock bars?

[zlMark]

stay on me,, I take pics of the stockers and the T-Bars sideby side so you can see for yourself,,, they are some really sweet bars

[Jim L]

Sounds good... you got he pictures yet???????????:laughing4:

[zlMark]

Camera is in the truck,, the t-bars are in my dining room closet still wrapped, and the zl1000 bars on on my front porch,,lol

[Jim L]

Any luck with those pictures yet...

[zlMark]

Told ya,, stay on me!!:laughing7:

[Jim L]

Thanks... they look like the same height and width, I think I'll order a set!

One thing to remember with the T bars...They will block some vision of the lights on the instrument cluster. The stock bars are open in the middle and you can see everything good. The T bars kinda restrict your vision of the neutral light. I had kind of a hard time with the positioning of the brake and clutch lines against the risers and had to rotate them a bit to clear them...I like them, but I like my current bars better. I prefer the riding position of the 900 and I like the bars to be straighter. Those T bars are probably a 15 degree angle. I had mine made and had them put at a 10 degree so they are straighter (but my current bars are identical to the 900 bars)....

When I rode my 1K to jarney's last spring (bout 200 miles), the angle of the stockers bothered my wrists. The ones I had made were a little better for that.

i agree ! but i preffer drag bars without risers, & stock handle bars . i know people are worried about the bars hitting tank, but it does not take much effort to extend the steering stops. just my opinion, & i think it looks better ! CHRIS

[Billy]

[Bacchus]

[Jarney]

Of these bars on the bike? I can get different/better pics if necessary. Later.

[Billy]

thats the one's i'm putting on

[Jim L]

Jarney, I would love to see the picsup close and from the riding position if you could. Thanks.

I wanted to know about the bars sliding in the clamp, the stock bars have a knurled finish and the T-bars are smooth- what was your experience with this?

[Billy]

hmm good question im not sure put bars on bike im parting out ,just see how they looked, Tighted rite up so i figuer should be cool. if thats what you are asking

[Bacchus]

you're parting out the bike with the supertrapp's?

[Trtile]

pics please lol

[Billy]

No thats my wifes. blew up old 1k. that one

[WillyD]

In the "search" function at the top of the page here, type in "bars" and it will bring it up...Go to the second page and I have a post "new bars, mirrors, levers"....There are a few pics on there...That is my 1K with those bars on...These were made for me with specs from Jarney's bars...One main difference is the angle of the pull back on the ends...Jarney's were 15 degrees. I had these made at 10 degrees....I no longer have these on the bike...I still have them if anyone is interested. They are black powder coated....

Willy

[Jarney]

WillyD's pics are good ones, link is below to his pics - same bars really. The bars clamp down fine as long as you follow the torque procedure. They originally were slipping on me - when first trying to get the bike running I was goosing the gas running up and down the driveway and with my weight pulling on them, they would slip just a bit. Once they were torqued to spec it was fine - had no problems with them after riding it a bit. Snug all four bolts up first, then torque the top 2 first, then the bottom so there is a clamping effect on the bars.

[Billy]

how much do you want for the bars. 815-713-5174.

[WillyD]

PM sent Billy

[Jarney]

Here's a few more pics just for the heck of it, might be hard to get a good idea without the tank on - ignore the dirt and dust - almost ashamed to post these pics - hahaha. Later.

[WillyD]

Here are the bars....These are black powder coated...I had them made per all the measuerments I got from Jarney...His bars have a 15 degree bend at the bar ends...I had these made at 10 degrees to make the bars a little straighter...The two up-tubes and the center of the top bar going across are 1" tubing....The bar ends and the lower bar that mounts in the triples are 7/8" tube....I had them custom made and powder coated by "Rock's Chops" in Evansville, IN....I paid a total of $165.00 for them....Billy I will sell them to you, shipped to your door for $50....

The pics Jarney pasted for me in the post are these powdercoated bars on my 1K....The last pic is my 1K as it sits now with the 900 bars and other mods..

[Billy]

thought you said 20 bks for bars, not 30 bks to ship to rockford il. not being a smart ass just wondering. if you want to call 815-713-5174. woukd like to have the bars

[WillyD]

No it's not gonna cost $30 to ship them...however I am gonna ship the Fedex and not the post office...I don't trust the post office...I work for Fedex and they can be tracked and make sure you get them...After I looked them over again and remembered what I paid for them I guess I should have asked for more...Even with my discount it is probably gonna cost close to $20 to ship them...They will be boxed up well and protected.

How about $40 total....again man I am taking a loss on them. They were on the bike for maybe 2 months. If you get them and don't think they are what you want you can ship them back to me for your money back...

[Bacchus]

are there any of these still available?

if so would you like to trade for anything in the store?

http://stores.ebay.com/Modern-classic-motorsports

[Billy]

which ones are looking for , like steve sell's out of cali ? He ships bars for bout 80 bk total price give or take brand new. I bought a set then bought a black set from Willyd both are sweet as hell.

[Bacchus]

what's the difference between them?

[Billy]

chorme ones are i think 15 degree's black are 10 degree
s. Black are are more pushed forward. Make sense ?

[Bacchus]

black sounds more to my liking, but I would prefer to do some horse trading with items I have in stock...

http://stores.ebay.com/Modern-classic-motorsports

would be interested in this item for potential use on one of my ZL's and / or store inventory item
