They ofcourse wouldn't clear the gastank.. I've found some sweet bars from Roland sanders design, but they are quite narrow and low in height aswell, but what do you guys think, would they clear the tank??? This is the ones:

The only other option than raising the bars above the tank....is making the steering stop more restrictive. I did that on my Cafe' bike.....and the only problem occurs when you want to turn the bike around on a narrow road, or around in the garage. During normal riding it is not an issue. I did try to ride my bike around the Motorcycle Safety Foundation Course one day when they were not open......and found my bike does not turn sharp enough to stay within the lines on their course.

Someday I will be old......But not today!

Yes I'm also afraid that the steering stop solution will give me trouble, and maybe in traffic, which could be dangerous, and at the same time I don't find it easy to do neither.. I think I like these kind of bars better than the drags anyway.. Hopefully the rise on those vintage in the center, will make my controls clear the tank without having to tilt them forward too far..

They're adjustable and might work if you mount them upside down. They'd be 7/8" so would need a sleeve to make them fit nice...Just a thought.
