Which bars?? I can't decide!

[Spudley]

Does anyone here use the Renthal riser bars? I'm trying to decide which to order out of the Streetfighter or the Road Ultra Low for my '97 Bandit 600.
What are your thoughts, suggestions, and feedback? (mainly interested in hearing on those that have used one or the other)

Bar's are very much a personal choice.
What suits one rider another will hate.

I have Renthal 789 streetfighter bar's on 3 of mine.
They suit me, how I ride, give the feel I want.
Others will think they are awful.

789 bars are about 750mm wide, which I find is a
good inbetween size, not narrow road, not wide MX.

Maybe sit on your bike, work out where you want your hands to be,
then work out which bars have the lift / rise thats closest ?

Tony is right all personal choice.
I go for aesthetics first because I personally think is all about what the bike looks like and how it flows.
Then if it feels strange I try and get used to it, but if I can't I try another bend.

what Tony said.
I've got renthal Carmichael bends on my versys (it's a work bike, i haven't turned gay) which are perfect with the standard risers, about the same height as the standard bars, but a lot less pullback/sweep.
the same bars won't work for me on my vfr fighter, because everything else is different, seat height/angle, fork length, distance to the bars, etc.
Sit on the bike and figure out where you want your hands to be. Not just comfort, but controlling the bike too.

"handle" bars.

No where near as interesting as I thought this thread was going to be
