Hey guys. Looking for some opinions on whether or not I should throw a set of Z's on my bike. I've got drags right now, but I've had some back problems return as of late. I'm just not sure whether the Z's would suit the style of got going on my rike (oldish vintage-ish).
What you guys think? I appreciate any feedback!
Dude your bike is that much different by fitting something common like Z bars isnt going to cut it....... I've always been a fan of these :

or even

Z bars are a bit too modern for the look of the bike...
Maybe even a Softail Slim bar???/

Yeah I hear what you're saying. I wasn't convinced they'd work either, but appreciate the feedback!
Those first bars you linked are pretty sweet actually. I like those!
Actually, I'm not sure if those zephyr bars would fit.
what top tree do you have? if its a stock 48 one then on they wont fit, but there is a replacement top tree that you can get which makes it a normal style.

Nevermind, just saw your link! Thanks a lot!
I think I'd have to move to mid controls to pull off those bars. Not sure they look right with forwards.
Have to agree with T1
I'm a huge fan of zombie performance, maybe these would suit

Bloody nice work to date !!!!
Those Zephyr bars look good, but I don't know if they would help a sore back?
Use to have Zbars on my old Kawasaki Z900 back in the seventies
Whilst i dont love the look from head on, i love it from the side and the drivers seat. And mind you, going from western bars to these, they are soo much more comfortable.
They have something similar, but need to cut the bars a bit. They're long.
