Trying to decide which way to go with a change in bars.
Any of you out there that have made changes/swap have any pictures.
I'm looking to change mine but would like to see what is out there once fitted.

What kind of bars are you thinking about? That is the big thing what style riding position do you want? It is all about preference and what is comfortable to you.

Have a xb12s 2005. Been looking at the rizoma bars but online not up close... they have the conus and superbike.... want alittle more aggressive ride and thinking of getting the raisers for the rear.

You could always do the Firebolt upper triple tree and use the Firebolt bars. It would give it a more aggresive position.

I have the same bike. I have renthal low rise bars from ASB. Cost me $60 or something, look much better than those old school chrome things, and feel perfect. Just drill a hole for the little tabs and go. You may be able to see them from this pic.

Nomore4s4me.
Do you have any more shots of your bar set up... how wide are the bars and how deep.
Doing a tonne of reading to get familiar but nothing out there with any bars on the xb12.
Thanks for any other input.
Cheers
