Maxim vs seca

You can get most of the handlebars on ebay still for $20-40. DK is rediculous on the handlebar prices. Also, JCWhitney has them for around $30 IIRC.

 

I have the same bike as the OP, and I'm also thinking about some lower, round handlebars. However, it looks like the mirror mounts are tilted on our bikes, which makes them useless with bars which are angled differently.

Also, while looking through my Chaparral last night, I noticed they have a variety of handlebars, including clubman's, drag bars, and "superbike" style (similar to Seca) for about $18.99. They also have some of the best tire prices I've found, especially on the Dunlop GT501's and 401's (or is it 404's, can't remember).

 

As far as the mirrors are concerned it is possible to either bend the shafts a little or cut the shaft an reweld it into the correct position.Bending would be the best alternative.

 

Neither my nor Bruin's '81 750 RH's have square handle bars and both run square headlights. I'm not sure if that would be an accurate statement CT. I wonder what the defining factor is? Nice shot of the "square" handle bars. I must retract my earlier statement of not having seen them before. I didn't understand the question it seems. I envisioned truely square extrusions sprouting from the triple tree. Whatadipsh*tski I am.

 

Oh man, I guess I am wrong about the square handlebars being on all 81 to 82 XJ750’s. Maybe the square handlebars were a factory option. Just not sure anymore.
