Wanting lower handlebars...recommendations?

Hey all!
Wanting to get a little more of a 'forward' lean position on the GT.
Have stock bars, eyeing LSL Superbike Low. Have seen a few other posts touting LSL goodness. Anyone care to contribute any recent FHE with said bar or something similar?? Don't want to go the clip-on route, just want something a little lower and a little more forward!

Happy and Safe Riding!

Charles.

I had the Superbike Low bars back when I had my GT. It was one of my favorite mods to the bike.

Dietrich suggested these when I asked the same question. I've been very happy with them. You can drill them for the stock locator pins, or pull the pins and skip it...

I did this M Bar http://www.customsportclassics.com/dcc028.htm

I was a little low so I added .80" risers under the clamps. It is so nice, just perfect. Less wind.

I have the LSL superbike low bars on my GT and think they are about the perfect height and shape. If going with the silver color they match the risers perfectly.

I'm running these. Look good. Feel good. And you can't beat the price. I have the medium rise, which is a bit lower than stock, but still comfortable for multiple day/multiple state rides. You'd probably be more interested in the low rise version.

Here's another option.
