I have been wondering about putting a set of low bars on my 05 GN 250 (dont laugh too hard) and am looking to see what my options are re buying new ones vs the trouble of getting some made up to my own specs.
Bearing in mind that this is all just a pipe dream at the moment, I would welcome any thoughts, comments and/or experiences

Generic bars, made in a variety of heights and widths are made by Ventura. They should be available from pretty much any shop. About $40 at Boyles in Wellington. Price will depend on finish, black or chrome etc.

The GN should be a piece of piss, as the bars are just your normal-sized bars clamped on the top of the forks. Paul in NZ did this mod for one of the other KBers a while back.
It's a good idea - check out a bike shop and see what they have or can get for you. Alternatively, someone else may have some spare ones flaoting around.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

Jazbug found that Yamaha SR250 bars made a huge improvement to comfort and riding position.
PaulInNZ put them on for her, so you should maybe contact him to see where he got them.
Buckets N Bits have an SR they are wrecking at the moment.

Get some clip-ons for excellent handling, or some apehangers for street cred.
Either way, you'll be too cool for school on your GN.

i think that it maybe a good idea, i lowered my bars on my ZXR (albeit somewhat a different setup) and it made a huge change to the handling for the better.
my best advice is to just pop into ANZA and they should be able to sort you out, they have a good range of ventura products etc... a mate put some ventura bars on his cb900 hornet and he loves them and they're a lot cheaper than you think.
good luck
yeah... sorry bro, i thought that ment miles 'n hour.
gee wizzz
seriously dude Id try a set of MX bars. theyre flatter and make the gnu easier to ride

Already got mini apehangers on it, thats the problem!!Originally Posted by White trash
Cheers for all the above suggestions folks
Also I am looking to do it on the cheap if possible, and have had someone suggest to me the idea of bending some up . Any thoughts out there on the pros and cons of this idea?

Seriously the SR bars are much flatter and second hand they'll be cheap as chips. Give Buckets N Bits a call, or give some of the big Auckland ones a call.

I replaced my TDR bars with some wirtz ones. The old ones are going on TM today if you want them, they are more of a MX style thing with a built in cross brace.
The real mystery is how come that fat bastard Hurley has never lost any weight.

I have a GN 250 also and ride on the M'way and find myself huckered down so I don't have to wind it all the way out, save gas too so if anyone does have some 2nd hand flat bars that would work I'd love to know.

Would you by chance happen to have the number around ?

It's in the link I posted above. Be really really nice. Bryce needs to be seriously convinced you really want to buy stuff from him. He has zero tolerance fro time wasters. Definitely not Kiwi Host material, but he can do good stuff if treated right.
