Chip Beck Spec Low Handlebar/Mirrors Mod.

I love the lower bars. I think I'll have to go that route myself. At 6'2" I sit way to straight on that thing, highway speeds with a good head wind makes it feel as if I'm going to get pushed right off the back. I end up tucking to minimize the effect but don't like my arms that bent. (I do have a Street Shield on the way that'll help some.)

I had the same trouble with my 75 CB750 when I got it at first. I put lower bars on but my hands got beat up so badly by engine and road vibration they would go numb almost instantly. After some looking around I found these:

I put a set of these on the ends of my bars and the problems I had with numbness were gone. They fit and look much better than the bar ends Honda supplied on these CB1100s. When I first saw the OEM bar ends on my CB I thought someone had screwed up putting them on until I saw a few other bikes. The gap and looseness just don't sit well with me and, they look like crap to me. The Salamander bar ends open up a lot more options for bars. They have up to 1lbs bar ends if you need something that heavy. They don't recommend using aluminum bars with these since the aluminum is more prone to crack and fail over time. They also say they've not put much testing into it to find out.
