    I got a pair of gold original bars kicking around my garage not bent too!
    however I do recommend the 7/8th pro taper bars which seem to create a better riding position, and go really well with a pair of EGO barkbusters!!
    Or I do have a pair of renthals in a shiny titanium finish but they aren't as wide as the originals.

    either way let me know if your interested.

    If you go with Renthals you will get more vibration through the bars. Loads of diferent rise/pullback combinations available but most of them will be lower height than the standard AT bars. IMHO you will need something like the "Dakar High" version which is pretty close to the OE shape/size. Not sure of the Renthal part number - bought mine ages ago and been very pleased with them other than the vibes.

    Interesting... I have Dakar High Bars, but donot have the vibration, I do miss the heavier OEM Bars.

    Standard bars and mirrors at 90+ perfectly clear rear vision and I can see it is a white Mercedes Sprinter van coming up fast. Renthals + standard mirrors - I can see a white blur and therefore deduce I am about to be past by a Mercedes Sprinter with the driver a) eating a BigMac and fries b) on the phone c) doing both.. Honda did not go to the trouble of putting internal damper weights and external ones for the fun of it. If they thought they could get away without damping the bars I am sure they would.
