You need angled ones like ebay number a cheep option 221256056823 or a new part 171069578866 ... But you want one that's only 1" high not 2

That looks good lee, quite like straight bars

Got lots of options to think about, ready made yoke sounds best but at 110 quid plus bars etc its not cheap

might look for a second hand yoke and try machining it

Maybe so, but less agro, and lets be honest, if you sold them on later you'd get your money back anyway, or most of it. The bars are £35 ish.
I never liked sports bikes with upright bars before, but I must admit these do look good, and I bet it makes for a good ride.

I'm glad you posted that Lee, all I could found from your earlier suggestion (Have a look at the Road Sport bars, aka Flat Bars.) was drinking bars :lol:

Those flat bars look good IMHO :D

Yes the flatbars do look very smart, what instrument has he got on the right hand side of his fairing?

renthal ultr lows and the ready made yoke are winning me over at the moment

They aren't actually ultra lows mate. In the renthal description they are called ' road sport '. They have no rise at all, iirc the ultra lows do.

That's obviously up to you, but September is not that far away really :)
