The three main types are Givi, Suzuki (sw-Motech) or Fehling

They are all about £100 new and its personal choice which you prefer the look of although I Live either the Givi or the Fehling

I have a set of Fehling bars that I have just re-painted black with Hammerite Satin finish which you can have for £45 including shipping if you wish.

my listing - viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3788

They have not been in a crash or anything its just they were silver and I wanted black - they come with all the fittings and retail for £99 plus shipping on Ebay, etc.

Take a look at these on e-bay 400047517484- I've got a set of these on mine in black,
I think they look better than the Suzuki ones.  They certainly are up to the job and they save my Vee from a load more damage when I came off. Dead easy to fit, I'd recommend them but it's all personal choice.

Thanks for quick reply and the offer to buy your bars
I'll get back to you by Tuesday and let you know if I need them
I've to take my bike back to the dealers on Monday and try and get a problem with the bike sorted out
I'll try and get a deal for crash bars from them at the same time because the problem is of thier causing so may manage to get a deal on the bars

thanks
Andy

I have had the three main sets of bars on my bikes

Givi bars on my KLV


SW-Motech/Suzuki bars on my yellow K3


and Fehling bars on my current Blue K2 - these are the same as the ones 'Eric the Viking' suggested


I hope this extra info helps your decision
