sexiest handlebars

i finally got my xs400 maxim running!!! cleaned out the carbs, switched the plugs, and replaced the fuel filter, and now my baby sounds mean! no more bogging down...she's just bagging to get ridden.

anyways, other than some small lights/wiring issues, it's time to dress her up. i am thinking that sexy handlebars could totally change the appearance of a bike. any ideas for the sexiest/baddest/meanest handlebars that would look good on an 82 maxim 400xs?

also, any other ideas on any other changes to beautify my beast?

Thanks!!!

stoked to being so close to finally being a ridah!!!

 

The best way to choose new handlebars is to decide what position you want to maintain while riding the bike, and get handlebars that produce the desired effect. Choosing them based solely on appearance can make for some uncomfortable riding...

 

I like the cafe look on the xs, so clubmans are my pick

 

nope, superbike or daytona definitely...look at my gallery pic of my 400 with daytona's

 

Clubmans or Superbike bars.

(Or clipon's)

 

i put clubmans on mine.
more relaxed wrist angle than my old drag bars.

 

I got a set of clubman bars. i ride laying down most of the time anyways so its way more comfortable than stock bars

 

I was going to get clubmans, but I really like the ergos of the stock bars

 

They are nice for setting up riding, but i do alot of 55+ riding and need to start crouching above those speeds

 

Get some of these bad boys.

 

Sweet potatoes!! those are big bars

The sign behind says "Missouri Department of Transportation"
I bet they might have to say something about those monster bars

 

If thats real then it's one of the dumbest things ive ever seen

 

Wow, I didn't even notice that sign. I live in
missouri. Maybe the tassels were distracting me.

 

That looks like it would not be very comfortable... but that's just me...

Imagine stop and go traffic? lol

 

+1 why in the world would you want to ride like that. :?

 

:lol: I think i just had an "accident" from laughing so hard! 8O

 

I hope for the sake of the motorists behind him that he used deodorant!
But that is the difference between a Harley and a Hoover...
the location of the dirtbag!

 

hahaha!!! i'm a shorter dude, so i'd just be hanging in the air off those bars.

 

sorry. gotta up this post. (1982 maxim xs400)

i like the look of the ones suggested. but before i make my pick, what would you suggest would be a good compromise for setting up riding and laying down. i like the ergos of stock, but the look seems a little dated and old-school. i don't mind leaning over a little, but would like to avoid laying down to much on the gas tank. anybody have experience with superbike?

 

I'm running "euro touring" on my Seca 550's, a little more rise/pull back than the "Daytona Superbike" but real close. Pics in gallery (only look at the white bike, the black one had stock bars in that pic.)
