any of the superbike bars are great and you just can't go wrong there...they will be a tad lower than your stock bars and you gotta re-route some throttle and controls stuff to take up the slack...but they are the answer and for 30-40 bucks give the bike a whole new feel and look....there are wider versions of the standard superbike bend that kinda look like flatrack/superbike bars and they can be pretty cool too.. i always do new grips for the whole new feel and a great option is knurled anodized bar end wheights...any make...e-bay sells em cheap with good finishes in lots a colors or black...they cut vibration ,balance out the steering some,look awesome,get comments all the time,protect the bike some in tight spots, and, tip overs in the driveway are way easier on the bike with em....as for the bars..look for a site that shows em all next to each other and find the the ones that are measured to be a longer/wider than the standard superbike versionor just do what most folks do and run superbikes standard.....the more expensive k&n brand bars finishes weather way better and are much stronger than no name brands....good luck
Ditto........ Superbike bars will give her a great look and be somewhat comfortable.

It does have black braced dirt bike bars and the riding position is great. I am going to restore the bike just a little but I will keep the bars as they are.

Sitting too upright will compress your spine and tear your butt up. Too far leaned forward and you will get fatigued from holding your self up at slow speeds and a backache. A seating position with about 50% weight distributed onto your thighs will help at both slow and highway speeds.
GLuck!

FYI: he's got a good selection of shocks that're supposed to be a direct bolt-on to the KZ650.

Ive also been contemplating new bars, and thought this might be nice, and not quite as aggressive as normal clubmans, or clip ons.
Thanks
