New handlebars help!

warriorpoet · 11-17-2014, 04:04 PM

Hey guys! Im new to the forum and i just bought my first bike, 2002 gz with only 4,000 miles on it. I have the stock handlebars and they are super comfortable but I am looking for a more aggressive seating. I've searched through the forum and seen drag bars, superbike bars, clubmans that all look cool and people say are comfortable. But i cant seem to find a thread that posts the dimensions of the bars. I believe my 2002 has a wider gas tank so my question is Does anyone know the dimensions for bars that will clear the stock tank of a 2002? Thanks!

Check out "sideroadcycles.com" for their chart on handlebar measurements.

For a slightly more aggressive/sporty bar you may want the drag bar style on some of the Suzuki S-40 models. Various years had GZ style bars or the drag bar style bars. Should be a simple easy swap. Look up some pics of a S-40(650 Savage) and compare the bars. The S-40 is just a slightly larger GZ so you will get a good idea what to expect if you go that route.
