    Just curious if anyone has changed out their OEM adjustable XJ1100 bars and put in one-piece traditional bars with the same bends and form as the OEM bars? Started looking at bar mounts and what works with the stock "XJ" top clamp/triple clamp. Also, wondering if it would be a simple swap out of a "special" top clamp and mounts. Anyone?
    Thanks

    I was wondering that same thing Jamie. I like the bars BillB has on his bike. I have a Seca 750 now also and it looks like the PO changed the top tree to a clamp on style. But comparing the two bikes everything on the 1100 is larger that the 750.

    When I switched my handlebars on my 750 Seca, I used the top tree from a 750 Maxim with the holes in it to accept risers. Now I can use any conventional 7/8" handlebars.

    I will have to measure the top tree on my seca 750 it already has an XJ top tree and my 1100 to see if they are the same. If they are then I will be swappin them. That also give me a better choice of windscreens also.

    I thought about that too, then just left the trees alone and went with clip-ons

    Steve,
    Any pics of your setup? I'm gathering ideas. Thanks

    Here you go.

    Not sure if they would work with the standard tank though.
