Flat bars
« on: 15 January 2015, 09:33:56 pm »
Has anyone fitted a set of flat or flatter bars to a faired Fazer?
Just think how stupid the "average" person is.  Isn't it a worry that statistically approximately 50% of the population are thicker!

I was thinking of doing this myself, I want to be lower down and I feel that I need to be slightly further back in the saddle. It almost feels like I am sitting on the tank at the moment.
Please let me know if the flat bars would change any of this or if they would just pull me further forwards.
Thanks.
People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.

I was thinking about a set of Renthals: I've got a set on my Bandit, they are not flat but they push me forward an inch or 2 which is better on motorways.

As I'm selling my bike, I've taken the FZ1 bars off, which you can have for £15 if you like..

I'm in Winchester and commute the M3 daily and M4 weekly.  Let me know where abouts in 'Berkshire' you are and I can hopefully collect.
