I have some Crossroads bars from my S1W, also a Manta Tank bike. They should bolt right onto your bike. Aluminum finish, but you could have them painted or powdercoated before installation if you wanted. PM me if you're interested, I can send pictures : )

I like the old Flanders "superbike" bend. Dale Walker sells them on his Holeshot Engineering website.

Also, you might look at the Bikemaster brand handlebars that Ride Now sells. They have a "superbike" bend and a "European GT" bend and they both come in black for about $16.00. They have a diagram that shows rise, pullback, etc. so you will be able to tell if they will be right for you.

Of course, my all-time favorite is to buy some soft 7/8" diameter aluminum bar and bend your own.

It is more easily formed than one would imagine and definitely individual. If you like that idea, use copper tube for your mock ups first and then, when you have one you like, make them in aluminum.

Good luck.

Dave

I have a couple sets of clip ons that will fit your M2. I had them on my '99 M2. Let me know...I can send you pics.

Know this: Crossroads for the Manta tanked M2 are a lot wider than the stock handlebars (almost 3" wider) and there is no easy way to shorten them without modifying other parts of the bike.

Handlebar width could also be an issue with tubular bars if they are low and forward too. If you don't mind the width, it won't be an issue.
