    Well give some suggestions friends and also if possible if any one can share a snap of the same it will be real big help.

    How about putting a 3 peace handle bar is it possible?
    Tank is the same in all UNIS, only the tank lid has changed, and how is the front mask a problem to change handlebar? See some previous posts there are pics of 2 piece handle bar for uni and also a shogun sports handle bar.

      I never understood why some people here have a problem with the stock handle, I found it difficult to use it at the start which is greatly due to using pulsar and fz handle, but now I don't feel the same way. Pretty much accustomed in Uni handle now. Though it looks like a Splendor type handle but still love it

        Yup that's the problem, we have a sporty mono suspension bike with a splendor seating position.

          Buddy why not to try something new well there is no harm in trying. well anyways I have dropped the idea as I drove on of my friends bike who had a short handle bar on his unicorn and it was not so comfortable as what we have in the stock one. Well so gave up the overall idea and using the bike they way she is.

          Well I am happy with the real smoothness of the machine and enjoying every bit of it. Well even after my engine has become brand new after riding her hard for 8500 km. right now my main target it to ride her safe and sound and enjoy the pleasure and the real feel of this bike.

          Anyways thanx for the advice.

            The only way ull enjoy a short handle bar is if u move ur footpegs back like the pics ive posted, the stock footpegs is way to much in front. If ur leaning and ur legs are more behind only will u have a proper riding posture and u will feel more one with the bike, you'll be able to corner also with confidence, hope u understood what I mean.

                  try pulsar 180 handlebar.
                  or fz handle with bar raiser.
                  works perfect

                              Ok but I really need a nice 2 piece handle bar, I rode my friends pulsar 135 the other day the seating position felt good, but the bike is too tiny for me, I'm 6'2.

                                [MENTION=42743]sinnerz2000[/MENTION], he he he same feeling for me as well, the other day I rode my friend's pulsar 180 and after the ride, I just parked the bike and said, what kind of a bike is this, I can't get proper grip to hold on with my knees and also believe it or not I can't ride bikes like splendor and all properly as I feel as if I am riding a cycle or something and it feels too too light weight. . . That's because our Unicorn has a muscular tank and we get good grip to hold onto which gives us more confidence which those puslars lack. . . I said you right and also gave you so many options, RD bar handle, Suzuki Shogun handle, Pulsar old handle, clip on handle. . . Just select anyone and see, you'll know the comfort and control. . . BTW replaced rear tires with zapper vyde today morning and boy oh boy, the tire is simply awesome, it gives more confidence to bend more and more. . . Try it out on your bike for your next tire and it is available in the fitment of 100/90-18. . .

                                Cheers!!!
