Default handle bars

i have an old GS and i dont like the way the handle bars look, they reach up too high. i was wondering if i could just travel on over to the salvage yard and pick up some bars that are shorter with the same outside diameter? i know it'll slightly change my riding position, but will it affect anything else?
