Higher bars.
Doesn't matter how you do it, I reckon it's the way forward.
I fitted a set of helibars today, now my grips are higher and wider. Testing around roundabouts and some of the tight twisty sections near my house was a total gas. Reminds me of my old streetfighter, reminds me how much I hate the clip-ons. More riding tomorrow and I'll even take some pics. |

Yeah, the backgroun.. ;)
Yes, I can - they look similar sort of height to the ones on the Nekkid. Should be easier on your wrists, but is it more twitchy when leant over? |
I think less twitchy, but I've also fitted a fork brace which may account for the front being more planted and braking more controllable.
I've never been a fan of clip ons, these new bars are spot on for my riding style, or lack of it some might say. |
high bars
can you please tell me where you can buy these bars from as my wrists ache especially riding round town and how much are they and are they easy to fit or does the faring have to be cut away? thanks

They're about £150- Piece of old cake to fit. Fairing doesn't need to be cut, although on full right lock, my choke lever hits the fairing but it's not an issue. |
good tip, im quite interested in those, do they make the seating position more comfortable on the wrists?
