Help wanted finding parts for 93 Suzuki GS500

Hello fellow riders, I have not been on this board in a long time. My bike needs new handlebars and a new contact breaker cover with emblem. I've already spent about an hour jumping from website to website trying to figure out what it is I'm looking for and I keep ending up with more questions than solutions.

For the handle bars... I am looking for OEM (or as close to the original in terms of measurements and feel). My bike's handlebars in most online store catalogs comes up as part number 56110-01D51 and range from $80 and up. They are "Tracker" style, but I am interested in finding "moto" style if there is one that would fit my bike. I'd love to find something less than the catalog prices but I can't keep spending hours searching and not even knowing if what I am coming up with is what I really need. I don't have the original handlebars that were on the bike so I don't know the original measurements. If anyone on here has a bike like mine with OEM handlebars and you wouldn't mind sending me the measurements, that would help if I were to start looking for aftermarket.
On top of that, if I need to order grips and balancers separate from those catalog sites, I'd definitely rather find used handlebars with grips and balancers on them already.

The contact breaker cover and emblem, (in catalogs they are two separate parts, can't I just find a used one in good condition and not have to buy two separate parts.... ugggg)....
Model numbers in catalog are: 11381-01D00  and for the emblem: 68233-01D00

I get so lost when I start searching because then I run into aftermarket parts with all sorts of other options and customizations. I think at this point if anyone can help me find the best priced handlebars and contact breaker cover, preferably with the emblem already on it, that would be of epic help to me. I am somewhat interested in crash bars also if anyone has any suggestions. If you know of any good used bike parts stores online, or bike junk yards I might try, or if you just happen to have access to any of these parts for my bike and you can sell them to me, please let me know. Thanks all.
