    Hi All

    I'm new to the forum and about to pick up a 2003 Thunderbird 900 later this week (I already own a Honda Fireblade).

    I would like to change the standard handlebars on the Thunderbird for something a little lower / flatter and am looking ideally for an option which is an easy swap (if such a thing exists!).

    I read somewhere that Speed Triple bars are a good option?

    Just wondered what others have used / recommend ?

    Thanks in advance...

    Ian

    My thunderbird had renthal bars on it when i brought her , but i changed them back to standard as i didn't like the colour and i wanted more upright bars .

    Well I have a 200 mile journey home with her on Sunday so I'll have plenty of time to decide on whether I like the standard bars!! :laughing:

    Yeah I've read that they're a good option, do you have any photos of the bike with them on?
