I had Renthal Ultra Lows on mine, which made riding a better experience for me. However, I've put Renthal Medium on now because I tried fitting some mirrors on but couldn't achieve the right angle but keeping them on...both are better than the standard bars in my opinion... first pic Ultra Lows and second pic from rear are Medium
Handlebar Swap
1 - 7 of 7 Posts
Not that anyone is interested in this type of swap - and I am shocked I gave up my favorite part of the bike - However I am holding on to the 33" wide handle bar and can swap back if I felt like it or do a fat bar swap if I felt like that - anyway here it is.
Original C spec parts. Had to drill a couple holes in the tubes for locator pins.
26" wide, and racer tuck forward/down. Its 6" narrower, 4" forward, 4" down. And I fit the C spec seat on it and it will truly be 100% C spec with the tank of the SCR. Essentially only R spec part on it now is the seat.
Biggest problem was the cables and wires were far far too long.
The brake line had to be rerouted to go over the headlight. If I bought a galfer or something it may be better, the clutch cable had to be routed on the right side of the frame and neck, over the headlight and across to the clutch perch.
There is still a spaghetti of wires barely restrained by zip ties - a C spec wire bracket may help sort this a little.
Turn signal bracket from the C spec and T/S may have helped, but they work fine clamped to the forks, and they were mounted to the under side of the Triple with a spacer sleeve, but the clip on's get in the way of that.
Biggest problem with this swap - in slow speed in my gravel driveway, its a lot harder to muscle it around. The advantage is - the racer tuck is very very comfortable, I am not moving around as much on the bike, cos in a 120 mile run yesterday I never got my jewels in the ball gap - and that's an achievement.
