Ive ordered some wider bars for the Bandit. Im going up to some 760mm bars and was wondering if they will fit without to many mods?

If I need to I can cut them down a bit.

You should have no dramas, as long as everything fits OK. I have the Renthal Ultra Lows on, and I love em. Seems like you only have to think of where you want to go and the bike steers there.

I didnt think there would be much drama. Looks to be plenty of cable length in everything for it to work ok. Long term I will probably cut the new bars down a bit but will see. I have wide shoulders so prefer wider bars. I also do a lot of slow speed cone stuff training learner rides and the stock narrow bars are a little tight for that.

Mind you the clutch on her is real grabby to which makes it hard as well.

Sorry no photos as bike is in bed now.

But they are Ventura Street Bars VH1/S.

Rise: 70mm, Pullback: 120mm, Width: 760mm, Crown: 130mm, Knurl Width: 115mm

But god, its the bars the bike should have had from the start. Love em.

Turns out the bikes bars has been changed before. The little knobs on the switches had bee filled off and every screw had copper antisieze on them. So it was a half hour job to do.
