998 handlebar conversion
 
Being vertically challanged, does anyone out there know where I can get a handlebar conversion for a 998 to raise the bars up just a touch. A pal of mine has had it done to his, but it was there when he bought the bike so he doesn't know who by.

Cheers

Helibars are fantabulous!
 
Dunno who, where or how much cos mine were donated free of charge by my friendly local main dealer :sing:

There is a kit available (just can't remember where) that lifts them up and back slightly.
Happy searching!!
Someone sold some recently on this site - have a look through some old posts.:sing:

I had a set of Ducati bar rasiers & sold them through this site a good while ago , the new position just did not work for me !
I just reposition the original bars to suit me , which worked wonders for the comfort factor a set of rear sets also helped a lot
You need to strip the handle bars & file or remove a pin thats pushed into the bars , after that you can put the clutch/brake levers in any position you like

Will try & get some pics !

I think it was MartinH who was advertising helibars on the board, may be wortha search or u2u to see if he sold them

My bike came fitted with them and they work well for me as i've broken my wrist in 6 places so its a bit iffy. I'd ridden other bikes with standard bars and they gave my wrist a bit of gip.

Gilles are also marketing their VariBar for the 998 now. adjustment in two planes plus a 15mm lift.

I just followed DJ's link to the CycleCat kit - looks damn good I must say.

DJ, have you got the rearsets and bar risers fitted to yours? Is the machining quality as good as it looks on the website.
