Narrower bars in black

Recommended Posts

Anyone have any suggestions?  I'd like something of similar rise and pullback as the stock 2017 bars, but narrower.  I know this was done on the later years.  But because I'm bougie, I want them in black without markings...no Pro Tapers, etc. with all their logos.

Any suggestions?  If I can't find something suitable, I'll just narrow up the stock bars.  But would prefer black.

Rizoma bars don't have any gaudy graphics or logo's.  I have used Rizoma bars on every bike since I started riding street bikes.  They are usually offered in at least black, silver and gold.

I'll give them a look.  Which bend are you using?

I am currently using MA009 on both bikes but have also used MA005 (slightly lower)

+1 but Street Naked are not lower, just have more sweep fir a better wrist angle.

I had black lower bars for a while by Outlaw Racing TH-008 I still have that were only around $45

Quite a bit lower with better sweep but still took my KTM Adventure hand guards.

Worked great just not when my back went retrograde...

Somehow I missed all these replies!  Work got the best of me this week...ugh.

Anyway, I took ya'll leads and ended up deciding on these:

They have noticeably more sweep, are narrower (which I'll further narrow up with a set of 120 mm grips), and despite the image, don't have that white logo.  I'll post a pic or two after I get a chance to install this weekend.
