I put some on and did not like them, I seem more comfortable leant forward, takes more weight off my spine, sat up really je4ks a bad back. I have now turned my bars upside down and race the bike, really comfortable and feels safe
Fitted a set this week and just been for a spin in the pouring rain..what a difference, can't believe my shoulders didn't ache nor my neck even gave me more confidence cornering in the pouring rain..best riding position bar none shoulda done it as soon as I bought the bike
I checked this and other forums and went with 758's...bought them on here for £30 incl pnp..like new.cut 20 mm off each end with angle grinder,drilled the hole for leftside switchgear.. piece of cake
The switch units clamp up tight enough on the bars if you nip the locating lug off. This is my preference as it can take several attempts to find the ideal position for the bars let alone the switchgear. If the units are too loose for your liking with the lug removed you can always wrap a bit of tape round the bars, tighten the switch units up and trim the tape off the sides, though I've not had to do this.I personally like the wider bars, for me they make the bike feel more imposing and significantly improve counter-steering. I can't see any benefit to making them shorter I suspect your knees and elbows would be the limiting factor in filtering through traffic rather than the bars, but I'm a lanky git so YMMV.
Sounds promising. Measuring the width of my stock Yamaha bars plus bar ends fitted, 700mm. These Renthals are only about 5cm wider.Plus they are supposed to offer much better vibration damping, so I wont cut them down, will slide the Renthal grips straight on.Do your wider bars catch the tank however, at full lock?
