[Tim Hall]

Does anyone know if there are any adjustable bars and pegs for the 888
Strada readily available?

I find the standard riding position too far forward and gives me a pain in the neck - literally!

I'd be interested if anyone has modified/adjusted their bikes - due to the same problem.

It looks as though 900ss bars would fit the 888 forks and bring the bars higher and further back which is what I want - but the clutch and brake reservoirs might then foul the fairing.

Any help/advice gladly received.

cheers

Totally understand the neck problem Tim,mine was so bad it sent a shock down my left arm and was a big percentage of the reason I sold mine but be careful when changing bars,try and find adjustable ones as to bigger change will ruin the lines of that bueatiful bike

Don't they take the same bars and pegs as the Supersports?
There's certainly been lots of posts in the past about adjustable bars for the SS. The cyclecat yoke relocates the reservoirs to the centre (rather than by the bars).

Most of the aftermarket footpegs will move your feet back and up - probably what you don't want.

I have fitted Harris bars and The SP comes with adjustable reasrets,you could fit a set of them?Altering the lever/switch gear position help as well.

I use bars from Baines,originally made for their Imola project bike,but they are very close to standard 888.Adjustable rearsets are thin on the ground for 888,s.Lucas is one.Genuine SP are long since deleted.SS,hangers will fit the frame ok,they will lower the footpeg position,I believe.I had a plan to modify the standard footrests,but couldnt find anywhere to make pegs long enough.
