2010 Handlebar options

[jmk]

I'm looking to swap out my 2010 z1000 handlebar with an aftermarket of higher quality. Does anyone know what the factory rise and sweep is? I want to keep the ergos the way they are. Suggestions on direct replacements are welcome.

Hey - ANYONE got any information on this? I too need to replace my bars, and I am wondering what the stock dimensions are... Rise, sweep, overall diameter of the bars, etc.

ANYONE???

Go to PJparts.com and look at the Rizoma bars for the 2010 Z1000

The stock bars are low quality and need to be replaced?

I understand the desire to change the geometry a little, but to what benefit do you get from changing to an aftermarket bar of the same geometry?

I had a tip over. Right side bar is bent in towards the rider. I want to replace the bars with bars that are identical as far as riding position.

I could get OEM parts. But why pay $145 for OEM handlebars, when I can pay $120 and get sweet aftermarket Rizoma bars??

Make sense now?

Following I am now. jmk's comment was more the puzzling one. I thought there might be another benefit to it I wasn't seeing.

There is a benefit stock bars weigh 3lb after market bars weigh less than 1lb

Any of you guys that have changed them find you get any more/less vibes through the bars? I'm tempted to change my whole bar/grips/ends/mirror situation to something more aesthetically pleasing and functional.

Benny, here is what I installed on my Renthal yama-Lows to help with the vibes. Street
They work great for me.
