Risers and bars instead of clip ons, naked bike bars on the faired one.

Can be a lot more comfortable, but you may find you get more wind blast,

Whats the c"omfort kit" people are talking about?

easy, it is basicly naked bars on a faired bike.

EDIT: beaten to it by yorkie chris....

EDIT2: yes you do get a bit more wind blast but nothing us bikers can't deal with.

Not expensive either.

?80 for some renthals and risers, maybe ?20 to swap any cables that need to be swapped. Not sure about the brake lines though.

Anyway it's an afternoons worth of messing about.
