Opinions & advice re bars.
 

Ok, Im seriously considering these::smt115

http://www.banditmaniashop.co.uk/ekm..._ons_small.jpg

They are from banditmania and are 140 ish :twisted:

Im hoping they will make me nice & upright reducing weight on the wrists and generally making a comfier ride. I just cant get to grips with the standard clip ons.:rolleyes: Im hoping to do a bit of long distance touring next year so im looking at improving the riding position [-o< to prevent achey wrist and squashed manhood :smt040

Has anyone got these and if so what do you think?

To all the other orgers what do you think? Will I look like a tool with these on?

Ive got the cash in my hand and i will be ordering in the nesxt couple of hours.

I have similar on the 800's SRAD front end, well I am considering removing them now, and they are comfortable as they are higher and have a little less weight put through your wrists. It will feel different for a while at first, you will need to check all the clearance between levels and fairings though.

It can be a bit of a lottery buying anything

Re: Opinions & advice re bars...
 

Aye, and they have the famous customer service reputation.

First call: "We sent it to you last week"
Second call: "We do not sell that product, are you sure you bought it from our website"
Third call: "It will be in stock Friday and dispatched Monday"
Fourth call: "That item was dispatched to you three weeks ago"

That was my experience anyway, and guess what, the item is still listed on there website and I never received it but I did get a refund three months after the last call.

oh right, all noted ;-)

I like LSL, they're as sexy as a clipon can be. I'm not sure what the new prices are now but they're not so far from that. Probably more resellable. You could also consider a handlebar conversion but I don't know much about that.

Banditmania, yeah. They do have some nice toys but they're so hard to deal with. I've ordered from them about 3 times, twice it went perfectly, but the other time was exactly as DD describes.

Re: Opinions & advice re bars...
 

Ah, the ones I posted are the LSL Tour which are higher and more similar to the Banditmania ones above. The others I have are LSL Match, similar to stock SV but a less steeper angle.

To be honest mate who cares, as long as you are comfy.

Your red Xs were not informative DD :mrgreen: I had the LSL tours on mine but it didn't take, too flat. I went with the sport match high in the end. Lovely. But probably not very different from standard I think.
