So my handlebar is bent and I want to get a new one, but neither do I want to spend $50 on it. Anyone know any place that I can get a cheap one at, or someone who can fabricate it, or repair mine? The OEM part is $46, and any $ I could save would be hot.

No, I'm not sure what exactly to look for. It's an actual handlebar, but I dont know the diameter or the length for it :|

I was thinking now might be a good time to upgrade to the more aggressive race style handlebars.

GS500F have regular hadle bars. I agree with P, try Ebay.

This was all i could really find, though I don't know the diameter of my own handlebar. It looks like it could be a 7/8" or 1" bar.

Ever tried measuring it?

Might be a good idea, eh?

Most likely 7/8" and $50 is not that bad of a deal, you won't find any "race" type bars for close to that, if at all. A pair of steel (cheapo) dirt bike bars would run $40+.
Not sure why you would want a race style anyway, only thing it would do is make your positioning more uncomfortable.
