I just got my bike over the weekend and one of the things I'd like to do right away is get different handlebars.

I like the look of older street bikes with low handlebars and an over all low look. Kinda like this.

I honestly know jack sh*t about motorcycles and have no idea if I can change mine or not, or what feels like what, etc etc.

Help...please.

I did some more searching and the style I'm going for is called Cafe Racer. Shit is cool as fuck!

This is the same bike I have pretty much. I'm gonna try and get this look but flat black.

Cafe bars are cheap, like 25 bucks. Don't get chrome if you buy from ebay, it looks like shit and doesn't last.

Looks like the virago has clip on's. Can't tell whats on the Gucci. Drag bars are flat, narrow and little pull back. Bars are cheap. What kinda bike ya get?

I got a Virago 650.

I did a ton of research last night and found bars. Clubman style bars is what I'm looking for. I found them on a couple sits for like $25.
