xj750 seca with clubman bars?

does anyone have a pic of a seca with clubman bars? i want to get new handlebars for my seca. would they fit well? mainly i want a more lean foward style handle bars but im not sure if clubman would be too much. any advice?

 

Cool Video! Love the sound... damn cars!

 

I got a maxim with clubman's. I love the riding position. Only two things I can comment about though:

1st - On the interstate, it's much more comfortable ( for me at least ) to throw my feet up onto the passenger pegs. I've thought about rearsets, and may do so when I have a second bike that my wife can ride with me on. Until then, she keeps the back pegs

2nd - because I have a maxim, the tank is wide enough to let the bars hit. It's really only a problem if you are moving it around the garage and aren't careful. Alternately, you can do what I did and modify your stop to decrease your turning radius enough to prevent the bars from hitting the tank. On a Seca, you may not have that problem though.

I would recommend just picking one up from your local motorcycle parts store ( I think I paid $20 ) and trying them out. Wrap some paper towel around them before you ( loosely ) attach them to your bike, and see how it fits. As long as you dont scratch them you should be able to return them.

 

On a 750 the bars would likely hit. I have them on my 650 and they work great, but in a recent fall I dented my tank (anyone got a tank? ) the 750 tank is wider so it's probably gonna be a problem.
If you wanted to be safe, go with clip on's or dragbars on the 750, or modify the stops like gremlin (which will of course make moving the bike around at slow speeds a bit harder).

I HAVE seen someone add a riser to the bars to get them up a bit higher (any riser for a snowmachine / dirtbike will work - that has 3/4" bars of course)... that MIGHT take care of clearence issues.

If you want clip on's, I'd suggest checking out e-bay for some, but at $45 you can't beat 250GPCHAMP's clip on's over at www.caferacer.net (Forum - Member Products - Clip Ons) for price, though I'd much rather - and will have - 3-way adjustables for $140.00 on ebay.

You could also look for 3-WAY ADJUSTABLE CLUBMANS. They come up on e-bay more and more frequently, and locOleoN over at www.dotheton.com has a pair he's looking to sell - if you're interested I can ask about em or you can head on over to the site and give him a holler. The price is a little higher then champ's clipon's, but much lower then the 3-way adjustable clip on's from e-bay (about half).

Don't have any pics of the 750, but plenty of the 650! (some older pics in my Gallery).

 

very cool. do you by any chance have pics of your bike with the clubmans and think you could show pics of your modified bar stops?

 

It sounds like you've got some serious vibration on that bike, GREAT VIDEO!

 

thanks! nah theres no vibration. its just the camera. it shook really bad when i was downshifting in second gear. the camera was just duct tapped to the front of the bike in the aux light spot so it was rattling around really bad.

 

Right on! Thanks for the ride along.
Beautiful country
