The ninja650 shop sport bars are probably the best for a true supersport feel but they're expensive as hell and have zero adjustability. The coerce bars are nice as are some of the LSL bars that BRP carries, http://blueridgeperformance.net/brpbars.html

It's legit. I've ordered a few things from them and they all arrived promptly and the customer service was great. They sponsor these forums; http://riderforums.com/

Scroll down to the ninja 650 forum and any questions you may have will be answered in detail.

For anyone interested. I've been banned from riderforums for posting incorrect information. This from a small minded moderator who is a mediocre rider from the quality of his posts, who isn't prepared to argue his case - usually because it's unarguable, and who apparently likes to run his own little domain for his own benefit.

Everything I post can be supported by argument and by the UK police rider training manual, Motorcycle Roadcraft.

Damn that sucks, you had thousands of posts over there. Is it a permanent or temporary ban? If it's permanent he must have not liked you for some time. You may be able to sweet talk your way back in if you want. If not, give him the finger and move on, there are plenty of other boards.

I've had issues before with Martin - he hates being challenged.

This time it's permanent - although it's easy enough to get back in.

I've done that just to announce my ban - he doesn't have the moral courage to stand by his own actions and tell the forum what he's done - but it'll perhaps have to wait a while because there's a technical issue with new members.

It's his stated reason that's annoyed me. If he believes it he's thick (very possible). If he doesn't, he's a hypocritical little turd.

Bars - a very personal issue. I don't like sports bars because they make my wrists ache on long trips and they compromise control in traffic. For normal riding I like a drag style bar as long as it's shaped right at the ends - a slight downward tilt and a bend back towards the tank. Sit on the bike, hold your arms out and see the line that your wrists fall into naturally. Euro bars, if that's what they're called, seem pretty good. The normal drag bars are too straight. With a tank bag to reach around the stock bars are probably as good as anything, so that's what I've got.
