    So I finally got my bike, i offered Powerbrokers (the place I bought it from) $900 cash and they took it. The bike has 27,259 miles on it. It has some what of a camillion (color changing) paint job on it, and it has a 4 into 1 kerker exhaust. Tell me what ya think with the new handlebars. Oh ya, got any ideas about mirrors? Thanks

    I put some drag bars like those on my 650 right when I got it and found a OEM replacement mirror and because the bars are a bit narrower than stock and lower than stock, all I could see out of the mirror was my shoulder. I never bothered finding a mirror that worked because I changed bars but I can tell you an OEM won't work. Good luck and nice looking bike.

    bar end mirrors work real well on that style handlebar.

    I couldn't see past my shoulders with clubmans either.

    Barend mirrors all the way (or just 1)

    Thanks for the comments, I dont really like the paint job on it but thatll have to do 'till I have money. Those bars were an SOB to put on b/c the stock controls are only made for the ugly stock bars sot they are bent funny but I got them to work finally. I do plan on investing in some end bar mirrors b/c I dont want to have to screw around with the stock location. HA I just figured out the the bike has a driveshaft, this is the first bike ive ever seen with one. Keep the comments/critizism coming.

    Oh ya, I just sent my seat off to get resized and recovered, hopefully after its done it will be about half of the size. Will keep ya updated on that.

    For 9 bills, it looks like a deal PD. How does she run? As for aesthetics, everyone has their own opinions as to what does/doesn't look good. Do what looks good to YOU, and enjoy it amigo.
