Speed Triple bars and bar end mirrors are the direction I went because the lower bar kit is no longer available from Triumph. I also tried the "Euro" bars and liked them but found that I needed risers to keep them from hitting the tank. The ST bars work with the stock T-Bird risers just fine.

I recently installed these Bikemaster bars in the "Superbike" bend. Minimal rise and sweep. They were inexpensive, they do not hit the tank (even with my trimmed steering lock), and they feel great!

speed triple, ducati monster and similar handlebars are ok, no problem for fitting and nothing to change or adapt.

Would anyone who's installed Speed Triple bars mind posting a pic with them installed on their bike so we can see how they look...?

There are several others in that thread.

Mick has Flanders Bars which are almost the same as Speed Triple Bars.

i really like the Bikemaster Euro bars on my Legend. it's dramatically lower than the stock bars and takes pressure off my back. i just used the stock mount and it clears the tank with ease IMHO. i'll make sure to take a pic next time i have it out

I've got the bikemaster euro style bars, everyone seems to like them a lot more than I do, and I like them just fine.

The Bikemaster and the Speed Triple bars do look very similar. They're sharp-looking.
Thanks!
