I'm looking to replace my stock handlebar this winter with a drag bar and new grips. I'd like a reasonably tight, slightly pointed down/back look almost like clip ons but maybe not quite that aggressive. Does anyone have any recommendations on bars that don't require any/too many other mods (new cabling, relocating signals/mirrors, etc.) to get this look and still have a functional bar with proper clearance? At some point I'd also like to add a mini cafe type fairing, possibly the small Arlen ness one, if that factors into your suggestions any.

Appreciate the feedback!

 

Here's the flanders bars site , at least you can see what is available , looks wise.

I don't know much about 48's but the one I just finished came to me with drag bars. I noticed it had some kind of install kit. It looks like there is some kind of clearance issue because of the integrated risers. His forks were slid down in the trees a little and there was a new washer-type spacer deal on the neck stem bolt.

I'm sure it's a simple install but hopefully someone that has done it can chime in.

 

I'll take a picture of mine when I get home but I got the Milwaukee twins 28 inch bars and Ya clearance is ridiculous because of the 48's stupid top triple tree. It's molded so if you were to add like a 1 inch lift it visually does not flow together because the way they shaped it.

That being said the 28's are pretty close to being as small as you could go. These were dimpled but I don't have mine angled down so much which I want to change, but I'm going to have to grind a larger hole in the bars to get the cables to fit and still have the controls sitting properly. There is about this much space - [ . . .] between the top of the fork cap and triple tree so not really much in the way of sliding the forks down for clearance. My bars sit almost right on top of the fork caps at the angle they are currently sitting at.
