Comfy Handlebars

Hi, Anyone fitted different bars to your MT. i think my arms are
shrinking as I age and I find the reach to the flat MT bars a
bit of a stretch. Anyone fitted bars with higher rise or swept
back. Details appreciated. Cheers Steve

try undoing the clamps and roll the bars back towards you a bit
it can make all the difference and it's free :)

I have the same problem. It's the fuel tank that interferes with
the space needed for my muscular stomach in my case.

Not sure if they're any further back as it's a long time since
they've been on the bike but I have a set of the MT tapered bars
and the MT Riser block that I'd sell.

Hey all good ideas. Max do you have any pics of the stuff you
have there. Not sure what it looks like but sounds to me that's
what I have already. My problem looks to be the front brake line
has no slack to allow changing the bars. So I'll need new brake
lines. I blame it all on my main rider ... a BM1200GS which is
like riding a big old comfy lounge chair. As for stomach clash
with tank ... have you tried one of those kidney brace
thingamabobs. A lot of the younger blokes swear by them and may
help pull a few women at the pitstops. ;D
