Exactly the bend/pullback I needed for my custom cafe racer.
They arrived late and slightly bent but I was able to tweak them straight.
LSL SportTourer Great on my 2015 Bonneville
Bought LSL Sport Tourer 7/8 in black for my 2015 Bonneville Newchurch which uses the 7/8 bars and were an easy swap out and seem high quality. I would say the profile of the sport-tourer is similar but slightly less extreme than the Norman Hyde M-bars that are popular for the Bonnevilles, but the M-bars cause the controls to bump the tank on my friend's Bonneville, but with this LSL bar I do not have that problem, there is plenty of tank clearance. These were the lowest bars I could find for the Bonneville with proper tank clearance and without going clubman or investing in clip-ons and I'm super stoked on the the look. There is just slight horizontal knurling lines to provide the tree clamps to grip, and to help with aligning, and only minimal LSL marking in center of bar to identify brand/model of the bar, barely noticeable (all blacked out on my black bar). Bar ends are open allowing for easily inserting my bar-end mirrors. These are just what I was looking for and Revival provided quick/easy shipping. Keep up the good work!
Nice bars, but...
These bars look great and have just the right shape. However, they are not exactly 7/8” diameter. I discovered this putting them on an older BMW which uses a 22mm bar, 22mm being slightly less than 7/8”. I could not get the stock handlebar perches to slide on. The bars have a ’nub’ at the cut end which makes it even more difficult. This might be a one-off problem with the bars I got, but just be aware that you may have some sanding to do before they will fit. Nevertheless, I would order them again.
