I'm restoring/modifying a 1985 Honda Shadow VT700C. It was laid down by a previous owner, then left outside for years. I got it running strong (it's WAY faster than most modern cruisers, even at twice the displacement because this lacks a lot of the weight they pack on these days) but visually it's really lacking. In particular the handlebars give it a very dated look, as do the instrument clusters.
I want to replace the bars but my local shops only stock a couple sizes and shapes, and I can find dozens of options online. But I can't figure out what the existing bars are (how do you measure them?) or what size and shape would make sense as a replacement.
I'm looking for best-bang-for-the-buck with the upgrade because I need more money for the big air kit and a few other modifications. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
