The 749S gives my neck some serious grief, saying that I have done 10,000 miles in 11 months. Do the bar risers significantly improve the riding position or not? If so which ones have you got? any other tips or tricks are welcome
I put some varon bars on my 999s, to get the most lift I replaced the brake and clutch resevoires. I like it more in town now and it's not that bad on the moterway. is it worth it probably not theres not that much in it and where you gain in town you lose out of it, and it's a lot of work to reroute all the cables ect and in my case the resevoires but if you don't mind all the work it's ok and does help. If you are down to devon any time you can see mine,
Someone on here has swapped the left and right bars and turned them upside down to achieve the same affect for zero cost,quite effective i believe.I'll try and find the post.
yes i was looking at that as well Had a measure yesterday of the angles ect and it looks as though it would work ok. The bars would nearly be parallel with the ground
When I tried turning the bars upside down and swapping sides I thought that they looked as though they were pointing upwards and did not feel right to me, never left them on to try mind.
Mark Change the bars! Or keep the bad neck! Or get a S4RS! But I dont know about one of those Buell things, I had a look before I went on Saturday and I have to say the looks are not for me but then again I am not buying so dont listen to me. If its what floats your boat when you ride one and the styling is for you then who am I to say other wise. I would still try the S4RS to compare if you go down that road. Otherwise looking at modifying your bars is sensible. I could see the look of thought on your face Saturday. Chopping in bikes is expensive and the bars mod will be cheaper.:b iaggi:
