Another newbie here - & my GS750

[TonUpSoldier]

how have those unipods been holding up?
I have heard that they take reapplication of oil all the time to keep working properly. I have not run them so I don't know if this is true.

The pods need only be *lightly* oiled. About as regularly as you check your oil. Not a big deal as they are cake to get on and off.

I don't know yet 'cause I haven't ridden enough to require a new application of oil

Dardoonk,

I'm planning on changing the original handlebars on my GS750. I was thinking of clubman bars but think I might be uncomfortable and besides I have CBR for when I feel like hunching over. I like the handle you put on. Can you tell me the make, dimensions if you can and where to buy a set?

Thanks,
tbone

PS I also joined the GSResources forum; Fantastic!. tbone was taken so I'm TboneD on that site.

They were an ebay buy.. I think about $20. I can measure the dimensions for you, but I think these are pretty close.

That style of bar is often referred to as 'superbike'. Pretty common in your local motorcycle shops, but perhaps harder to find in black.

Thanks for getting back to me on the "Superbike" bar. I think I'm going to try them first.
