That is mental money, you could probably get some made for less

That's off the top of my head from when I was purchasing them I need to look in the garage in a bit - I'll confirm.

I won't tell you how much I paid for the Gilles Vario bars then These are impossible to configure without scuffing the feck out of my fairing, and impossible (at the mo) to configure with the riser kit without some issue with the throttle & choke cable. Losing patience with the Gilles, because there are too many combinations.

I can flog the Gilles & recoup what I spend on these, unless I can find some steel ones

I've seen steel ones for a lot less than these, but none have the slightly higher bar position I'm looking for, which the Ducati ones do have as standard.

And I felt hard done by having to part with £40 for the duke ones!

They're a nice position, I used to get agony in my knees but since fitting them it's gone. Plenty of adjustibility too in that you can move them up or down the legs loads.

The Gilles without the riser kit are a nice position, good comfort all day, but the bars are too low and scrape the fairing

Roughly measured whilst on the bike: 7cm from the top edge of the fork leg clamp to the top tip of the bar.
12cm from the bottom of the clamp. Plenty of room to manoeuvre , think mine are higher than standard bars.

Cheers Dave.

I may have solved it with the Gilles bars, I've got to see tomorrow, if when I start it up and go lock to lock, if the throttle cables are too tight and the revs rise.

Nothing else is fouling the fairing, just the brake lines need moving on the banjo bolt

Too late to fire it up tonight

That's a point my throttle cables are slightly tight, luckily a blind man drilled the lock stops so they can't turn too much anyway!
