comfy bars at last
comfy bars at last
Well its been a while since Ive been on here due to work , Anyhoo a few months back I purchased a set of BLACK clip on's from evil bay and a set of garmin ( i think)bar risers. I finally installed them on the vtr and over the passed month ive been riding in all conditions IE fast,slow,in a lot of traffic,and just out with the boys.All i can say is "what a HUGE difference it makes, 200 miles in one day EASY .Numb butt permitting but No wrist ache what so ever, not even a little discomfort they are just perfect .So if you are suffering even just a little from your wrists then get black bars and a set of risers........yahooooo

Excellent ... that's the thing with making a comfort modification , your never really sure if its goin to help until you actually try it
Any chance of a pic when you get time
Edit- No need for pic , i realise now your talking about the later black vtr clip-ons , and the risers which fit between top-yoke and clip-on , ie the Genmar or GBmoto type risers.
Cheers anyway

I fitted the later clip-on handle bars to my bike (quite a few years ago now) and found they are definitely an improvement IMHO too

I have gone a different route , I was having difficulty reaching the ground and also loads of discomfort from the bars so I decided to lower the seat so now not only can
I reach the ground ok but because my body is lower less weight is resting on my wrists plus my legs and feet are in a better position for the rear brake and gear lever. I no longer feel perched on top of the bike but more wraped around the tank sort of sloted into it
