i'm thinking of changing my handlebar with a super bar is the riding comfortable while driving.. or do you have to lean foward a lot .mine is a 80-750-ltd. which come up a little high.but ride comfortable what i mean is i rather change the look of bike.the ones i think would be right for the bike and comfort are the ltd -1000 any suggestions...thanks .....R....

Stock bars work great at something I'm sure, just don't know what. Personally I like to see them sailing into the junk pile.

I'm a big fan of SuperBike bars, every bike here that takes 7/8" bars has SuperBike bars on it. I'm 58 and 6'3" if that helps

I don't care much how it looks, I care how it functions, and the SuperBike bars are loads more comfortable than stock bars.

I'm 6'2" and this is superbike bars on an LTD conversion. You be the judge if you lean or not.

re apes

thank you herk... i could'nt think of a better word to describe my bars mini apes..anyway yours are not that bad they look like i could handle them what year and model are they from...r....

Herk your rear tire looks big/wide in the pic. Is it an optical illusion or over sized?

P.S. Risen1, I find the slight forward lean very comfortable and even more so when at highway speeds. My arms would get tired on long rides because of the constant pull to hold myself forward while the wind was trying to push me backwards. And as you know, the arms are bent, with the elbows down and inward with the mini apehangers. With my arms straight and the slight lean, all it takes is holding on to the grips which is much more comfortable.

mike your right on the money with that...my problem is circulation with my arms constantly trying to hold on i wear out fast pushing 69 is a handfull also that bike of yours should be a keeper for a long time you wont find one that nice unless you do another one its a beauty another question i bought on ebay a oil cooler from a 750 kawa gtx not sure of the letters but its a factory one with the lines trouble is instructions to hook up the ends to the motor wasent included and i'm missing something on the motor because the ends have like a flange with 2 holes but wont line up to anything with 2 holes anywere on the motor what do you think?

I believe the letters your looking for are GPZ. I got one from ebay also that came off a 1000 GPZ but all the fittings came with mine. If I remember correctly, at least one and maybe both of the lines on the 750 connected to the oil pan (not the same as the 1000). If that is the case you will need an oil pan from a 750 GPZ. There may be another way to connect it on the 750, but I'm not sure.

Check this link on ebay and see it the bottom right photo on the pan looks like the connection ports for your lines.

i kind of thought that ..changing the pan was the only thing i could see being the line went rite next to it the other line looks like it goes to a test hole on the bottom af another cover like on a 650 i seen in a picture anyway it goes on my stock pile till i come across the rest of it...thanks mike..

 

[risen 1]

no that is a direct hole for a hose mine has 2 holes about 2 inches apart with i think o rings on them ....its on a metel tube with the hose about 3 inches up .. same way as where the cooler line on the top are

 

[risen 1]

now that remember it was from a turbo mike....maybe thats why the fitting are different ....

 

[StarGate]

It sounds like you are describing the 2 ports on the oil pan in the link. Did you scroll down and look at the 9 pics in the add? The last pic shows a front view of the pan with 2 connection ports like you described.

 

[risen 1]

thats the hook up mike just like that but that pan dosent look like mine at all....

 

[risen 1]

from what i've seen the hook uo for a 650 would match mine probrerly a oil pan from a 650 will have it i know on the other side it shows the hose going to under where the point cover is..

 

[StarGate]

I wasn't aware that any of the 650's came with oil coolers.

 

[risen 1]

i have seen a couple of 650s with oil coolers dont know if they came with them one was a lock hart and the other looked like a original at least the lines did but you might be right they could have put them on
