handlebar conversion

[baycat]

has anyone fitted a handlebar conversion kit. or the pros @ cons of doing so.

Yes and it is great, only drawback is that you sit higher and need a higher screen.

Have a good search round and you will find a few threads on converting to flat bars.

The fairing will generally need trimming to fit depending on the height of the bars

I would try adjustable 41mm clipons like tommaselli or paolo tarozzi, they are slightly higher, wider, and you will get better angle. I have it on blade forks, and handling and position is great, but still like sport bike.
Another advantage is you don't have to trim the fairing.

cutting the fairing is not as frightening as it sounds. if you use low rise bars you only need to trim off a small section at the back and as you will see near the end of this thread, it is very hard to spot what has been removed

i bought the kit through Moore Speed racing, CNC Comfy yoke, bars, hoses etc. I fitted and cut the fairing. It looked good, some of the guys on here saw them and they seemed chuffed with it.

Another option. If you use the same riser's as in this photo, with a pair of Ultra low Renthal handlebars you don't need to trim the fairing.

it was a superb mod, and allowed me to ride the bike much further, well a tankful with no probs. I only sold the bike as the vibes from the twin made my fingers numb ( odd results from chemo) no probs now with the IL4.

You can't be serious that looks like a cheap 70's chop
