As a few of you know, I'm slowly customizing my mostly stock '73 CB450. I love the cafe look, but I'm not sure I want to go with clubmans or clip-ons and rear-set pegs. I'd like to maintain an upright riding position, but the stock bars and seat are a little too, well, stock. It came with a set of drag bars, but I don't like how they look against the lines of the bike. Im thinking of ordering some ebay special Emgo "GP touring" bars, like these:
Anyone have any experience with these? I know most guys run clubmans, but again, I'd like to steer away from the leaned-forward riding position but still have lower bars. Mostly for asthetic reasons. As far as the seat goes, I'd like to find a useable stock seat pan and build one like loco leon did in this topic - http://dotheton.com/index.php?topic=2717.0
The other option i'm considering is a custom seat cover and foam set from an ebay stoer based in vietnam. A tad pricey, but if the quality is good I think it would fit the look of the bike pretty well.
Any thoughts??
