The ST appears to have conventional tubular bars, probably 7/8", so there's a world of possible replacement bars. I'd start with R11xxR bars, which provide a "standard" bike's upright posture. Or you can look at aftermarket suppliers such as HeliBars. Since you already have bar-backs, you have a wide range of potential customization at hand. Check whether the control cables can be rerouted to provide more reach.

(We replaced the upper triple clamp on Jody's R11RS with one that will take tubular bars and fitted R1150R bars.
Way better than the stock bars with bar-backs. Rerouting the cables created enough slack to reach.)

Silver, the "cool and aloof" color.

1971 Triumph Bonneville, Gold
Gold, the "paying the restorer" color.
(Trust me.)
