Do the bars before painting as raised bars may will most likely require trimming the fairing. :thumbup:

hi Andy,
Not long had my bike - it has a CNC handlebar kit and originally had Renthall bars which I found too wide and low. I changed to 2.5 inch rise chrome type with slight pull back, helped a bit. Looking at it the fairing and windscreen was cut just after the mirrors to avoid the master cylinders whacking it. The CNC block abutted the tank bolt washers so they were changed to improve the lock movement. Finally, too much lock and the switches etc will hit the tank. Apparently the change cost around £300 but it looks neat. Seen cheaper options so check out what there is and as was said, make sure it all fits without too much aggro. And you can get mirror adaptors to fit the levers/cylinders that enable you to fit chrome mirrors on the bars and ditch those ugly mothers on the fairing!

Cheers, enjoy your bike, Harwell. :D
