They look very similar (if not the same) as Givi bars grog.

I see though that there are no engine mounting bolts in the pictures - you'd probably need to acquire some a little longer to fit these on the top and bottom mount

Same as what I've got fitted. Givi. Bit of chrome polish and they will come up as new.

Bought n paid for Givi bars. $110. Very happy. Thanks for spotting Sweaty. Bloke has 2007 gsx14 with 6 th ks, coming up for sale next few weeks. Might be worth looking at if anyone has a mate looking for a 14. Bloody low ks

if the bike a good buy as were bars, worth looking out for. he buys n sells bikes, normaly sports models. he doesnt much like 14 except a good pillion bike. each to their own.
