Nicely done! It's cool when you can use factory parts from another bike rather than buying expensive aftermarket gear.

Nice job. I had tried a set of 919 bars on my 2013 CB1100. The switch pinlocating holes had to be relocated, but otherwise, a nice looking and feeling bar. But I also noticed the increased steering effort, and the "power steering" leverage of the stock bars was gone.

And while it isn't an inexpensive bar, there is ample straight portion on the ends to mount everything. many aftermarket bars aren't bent in a way to allow space, so consequently the master cylinders get clamped on the curved portion, angling the lever tips up a bit.

What's the appeal of these? Are they shorter? Tighter? I can't really tell the difference from the video. Grips are really nice tho.

919 bars are about 4" narrower, 1-1/2" lower, and sweep back about an inch more at the tips. I thought they were a nice bend, nearly identical to an SV650, except the clamp serations are in the correct spacing for a Honda.

Do they make you ride bent over any? Also, where did you get the black front fender? Thanks!

Yes, the riding position is more sporting. For the first couple of long rides, I tired easily but now, I don't really notice. The fenders and other mods came from Webike (Japan).

Less cruiser, more sport.

I believe others have used bars from the CB500.

Looks good.

Another option could be, one from cb1100 RS. As it’s oem, it does have the holes predrilled.

Interestingly, you can buy the oem from revzilla
