Yes. A little wider and a little more pulled back. A lot more comfortable to me.

Nobody took a picture?

The bars I put on are at the limits of the stock lines. I only changed the bars- but anything more extreme will need brake & clutch lines, throttle cables...
OP- trust me I know what you are wanting. Same thing I wanted- but in my case I never owned a later CB. I owned a Kawasaki KZ750 LTD which was their same styling design as the CB customs.
I sold it when I got out of the Army- and when I came home I bought a '76 CB750 about a year later. While the CB was a wonderful bike- it felt a little flat (literally on the seat) and lacked the attitude that I had with the LTD. I had the same feeling when I bought the CB1100- it needed a little help to get it where I want it.
That is the great thing about the UJM- you can make them into whatever you want.
