You guys may have seen my posts about making a bar riser for my post 750.
Originally I mounted a MX ProTaper bar on the riser.
But after a couple of weeks I found the bars too wide and a little too straight, i.e. not enough pull-back on the bars.
So I started researching other Suzuki bikes that had a more 'standard' riding position and selected the 1200 Bandit and SV1000 bars which both had 3" rise, 26" width and 6" pull back. (the MX bars where (2-1/2" rise, 32 width and 4" pull back).
I looked specifically for Suzuki bars because I was confident the grips, controls, etc. would bolt right up.
The only minor glitch is the knurling on the bars doesn't line up with the 7/8 bar mounts but the mounts have enough clamping force to prevent any bar movement.
The only additional part I had to modify was to install a longer brake line from the reservoir to the front brake line splitter.
Anyways... here are a couple of pics.
