Since so many questions are asked regarding handlebars, I decided to compile some pics of
various bikes/bars I've seen on the site. Hope this helps people who are interested in changing the bars on their Bonnie. Hopefully lots of people will post pics of their bars here.

I'll get us started:

Norman Hyde M-Bars-



Norman Hyde Ace Bars-



Low Cafe Bars-



Superbars-

My Custom Bars

Gday all, this is my firs post for a while, hope the pi of my bars works out. I couldn't find any that felt just right so I made them out of strasight bars from a Speedy or America and painted 'em black.
They aint pristine but they are comfortable and look different.

They hit the tank, but just barely, without the risers. (Actually the controls hit, not the bars)
The Gen-Mar risers are from Bellacorse.
I have ridden about 500 miles since the drag bar install, and can't complain. Looks good, comfortable, and total price (with risers) is under $100.

Pretty much. If I lift my elbows up, I can kinda see behind me. They're supposed to be bar-ends, but the caps on the Woodcrafts are stuck in there pretty good and I wanted to check with the manufacturer before I went after them with pliers. So I just bolted them through the stock mirror mounts to keep the po-po happy. Got a response within 24hrs from Eric Wood saying that it's ok to reef on 'em. I've been feeling sick though, so I haven't gotten around to fixing the situation yet.

I was going to say that they're just plugs if I remember correctly.

I sure do miss my Woodcraft clip-ons.

I'm looking to drop my stock Bonnie bars a bit - I'm 6'1" and with a dart flyscreen I find myself wanting to hunch down into the air pocket when I get up over 60 mph or so. Don't want to go full Thruxton/clip-on since I do like the comfort of being able to sit more or less upright on long runs.

Suggestions?
