Sporty Handlebars for Bandit 1250GT

[Hash]

Want a slightly more 'sporty' stance' on my Bandit 1250GT, whilst not compromising visibility too much

Any ideas?

Bikemaster makes a good selection of inexpensive handlebars.

Check out their "Superbike" and "Drag Bar" options, but you will have to be wary when you mount them that they don't hit the fairing or gas tank.

Their "Daytona" bars are a good stock-sized replacement.

bikemaster bars, have em on my B12, good, great price but not if u ride in the rain or inclement weather. start to rust fast, good for 90% of riders, and for my 78 GS that gets babied but not my 15k mile ayear daily driver.
just my .02

I'm curious where they rust, since they're chromed?  Mine have been spotless for about 2-3 years now.

I have the Bikemaster Superbike bar on my 06 (same as the 07 except the engine). There is a slight clearance issue with the faring but its never concerned me. The bar is FAR more comfortable than the stocker and the forward cant it puts you in gives a lot better front end feel. I got mine in black just cuz I'm not a fan of chrome

I've got gold anodized aluminum Renthal bars, wider and more pullback than stock.
