Hi gang - I'm thinking about keeping my firestorm afterall and spending cash modifying it.

I'm looking at some handlebars as I dont think the clip ons are a great idea at all for the firestorm and havent a clue why honda went with them (SP1-2 understandably).....

can anyone shed more light on whats available? so far i'm looking at the following; http://www.streetfighterstore.com/acata ... 000cc.html page down past the CBR R and SP1/2.... looks a good kit.

cheers

Fairing looks a bit odd on that pic.i went with converti-bars,very well put together kit and totally adjustable to your requirements.Give them a check.

Or you could try helibars,but they don't have the adjustability of the converti-bars.

Alternatively try carrying some heavy shopping home and lug my wife's suitcase about for a while and you'll save yourself the money

My long arms find the clip-ons very comfortable thank you

(mind you they still don't reach to the bottom of m pockets

)

it aint the weight on the wrists, that aint a problem, it's simply the position. I can sit up with my arms fairly straight & keep up with GSXR's in the twisties so why should I hunch over and tuck my elbows in? I have a hayabusa for hunched over speed freaking - I want to relax up on the VTR and would prefer the straight back... I have no use for clip ons basically on the firestorm.

I have the ABM top yolk and renthal bars on mine,Very comfortable.
On my last storm I got the parts from Busters.
Angled bar raisers, Renthal ultra lows, braided hoses, bar ends for just under Â£100

The convertibars are what' about 200ukp + carriage? Could be worse!

There are the Gilles range.
Seehttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... &rd=1&rd=1

See this pic for them with the additional riser section available as an extra

Early vfr 750 bars fit straight on (just one small hole to drill) and sit higher than standard bars. Your wallet will be more comfortable splashing out a tenner to a breaker than 200 to streetfighters.

Yep early vfr bars fit and i hear they are set closer to you as you sit on the bike.But if you want the Gilles there is some on ebay now.
