hey 550a2...
How do you want to ride? Superbike bars?-sit up and beg. Clubmans?-ass up head down can get rather uncomfy on long rides although I think its worth it for the confidence gains in the curves. Also, it gets old having red necks tell you your handlebars are upside down. Drag bars seem to be a good looking middle ground. Never forget that riding motorcycles is funner than looking at them.

I think I'm going to go with a motorcross or superbike bars. I want lower bars than the factory setup.

I'm looking for something lower than the factory Kawasaki "ape hangers". I have a set of superbike bars in my basement. I have to dig them out. Hopefully they're low like motorcross style bars or I might have to use drag bars.

i like these bars. Very nice. I had a hard time choosing bars because i wanted something short but my master cylinder kept hitting my gauges and kept running out of room. I ended up going with these type of bars and spinning them back to get a more aggressive riding position.
