Which handlebars match Ohlins color?

[chai rome]

I'm gathering parts to fighter my RSVR.
It's got gold Ohlin forks so I thought I'd match those up with a natural alloy finish triple/risers and some gold handlebars.
Anyone know which handlebar company's gold color matches Ohlins' best? (Pro Taper, Renthal, Spiegler, Rizoma...)

Btw, my ape is an '03 so the frame is black; should I just go for black triple/risers/bars for a more blacked out look?

LSL Fat Bar has a gold color option.

Thanks for the encouragement :thumbup. I'll have to bump this thread with some pictures when it's all done. Looking forward to this bike's motor paired with some bars.

Just the sort of answer I was looking for. Any pictures? Muchas gracias.

Leaning towards Cool n Comfy kit from the UK. Other than poor reviews for timeliness and communication, the product is good and at a great price.

I feel ya. At least I'm not complaining about anything. (Btw, I don't quite live in the first world most of the year)

Those do look nice. Hadn't heard of them. By the time you factor in extended brake and clutch lines, bars, the lsl/spiegler kit might be a wash and have better customer service

2nd gen tuono fact has gold bars if I recall.

Here are my Rizoma on my Street Triple



Kinda matches my forks and rear shocks

 

[chai rome]

auntiebling, C'n'C has the option of coming as a kit with lines and brackets and free upgrade in 28mm risers.

fast4d, you are right, the Tuono factories had that setup (ohlins forks -polished upper
triple - gold handlebars) and I think looked pretty good.

airrix - thanks for the pictures, exactly what I was hoping for. Your bike is looking nice. I'll have to look into the specs of the Rizomas; I'm looking for very little height and little to mild sweep.

Anyone with Protapers?

 

[catch2otwo]

All the second gen tuonos had gold bars. My non fact has them.

 

[chai rome]

Thanks, I'll check ebay for them but also need to find out their specs since i'm looking for little height/rise and little sweep.

ThumperX, does Answer make motocross bars or just mountain bike bars?

I've got a set of OEM bars from my 03' Tuono that are bent by just a smidge. You can have them but they're in Sacramento. The bike fell off the rear stand. I was holding on to the handlebars but it went past the point where I had leverage. I did hold onto it and was able to slow the impact into a bump. I don't think they match the color of the Ohlins shock I have but it is a real Tuono handlebar. I have some 1st gen parts you might have use for. PM me if you're interested.
