On my blade I've got a set of AFAM super bike bend bars and there fantastic (about 70mm rise, 70mm sweep, 745mm wide). Then this week, after getting my hands on a tidy second hand GSX1400, made a few calls and no-one's heard of them apparently for years(8ish or so). So I've searched the web and cannot find anyone who sells them so the search is on for a set of bars.

Well I can't believe there's such low information on the web for something everyone's got. Where are you all getting them from?

So I'm open for suggestions which would suit the GSX1400. Pro taper, Renthal Fat Bars are the obvious but they cannot supply matching silver risers. Any help is appreciated.

I've used B&C a couple of times.
Had to give them a quick call to OK an oversea's
credit card the 1st time for some reason though.

No more expensive than buying in AU,
but they have stuff thats not on sale here,
you dont pay UK's VAT or any import tax.
Normaly here within a week.
