Default Clubman handlebar...opinion needed.

My Cafe Racer Xmas gift was a clubman handlebar.
The main problem is that i wanted to keep my tall risers because of the tacho bracket bolt on them...
So I put the handlebar upside down...
I had to modify a few the levers brackets because of the wiring.
A few month ago, I bought a pair of bar end mirrors...
Beautiful parts but not really usefull...holes with a pair of rubber plugs to reduce vibrations....
Here are the pics :
















I'm just coming back from a long ride.
The position is perfect for high speed.
The best i could find for my track days.....

I've increased my top speed and accelerate more quickly...
No more wind in the shoulders....

I like it, reminds me of the "drop bars" we used to put on our ricers years ago.

That used to be the thing to do when I was a kid. My son did that to his vintage CB750 ricer.

Looks awesome but then again I'm biased, What happened with the bar end mirrors were they just too small to see anything out of? I have a Napoleon bar end miror but they're stupid expensive, it literally cost more than the bars.It looks great from the front when do we get a pic of the whole bike?

I try to limit posting pics of my SV to when and where it's appropriate this is after all a Harley forum But since you asked..


I have since cut down the clubmans buy an inch on each side and gone with some old style big fat barrell shaped rubber grips I unfortunately have no pics yet.
