Ape Hangers..?

Does anyone make higher handlebars that would fit the GZ? Or at least risers that would lift the stock bars up a couple of inches?

ANY 7/8" bars will fit.

It's the CABLES that you have to worry about. Not enough slack to make very much of a change without a MAJOR PITA with changing out all the cables.

Re: Ape Hangers..?

You can gain some extra slack in the cables by routing them behind the triple tree instead of infront. The front brake line is the one to be careful with, you don't want it to be pulled tight. The rest can be routed just ahead of the tank with good success. Did this with Lynda's M-50 when I installed different bars with more pull back for a shorter reach. Check and make an educated guess before running out to get higher bars.

You get a lot of bugs in your armpit hair.
