Convertibars

Anybody tried them? I need something to make the R1 a bit, well a lot,
more comfortable over distances.

They're these things - http://www.motorcycle-road-and-race.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=721

They look like they should work, but somehow I'm not quite convinced.

 

In the Dago group there is a Taka who fitted them to an R6. He reports they
work well, but eventually I chose a kit from LSL to rise handlebars for my
Turderace [1]

Also check Bagster or some of those (horrible looking) French "sellerie" for
a more confortable seating.

[1] Ordered tomorrow. I have discovered that due to a minor crash in 2001 my
left handlebar is bent 1cm down, that's why I always had pain in the left
side of the body after long distances! I installed a taller windscreen and
couldn't understand why when riding I could see the outer left top
windscreen and inner right... it's all about ergonomics.

 

I've used Gilles Variobars on the 9R and 10R.

They work very well. Well worth the money.

I'll check them out, ta for that.

 

I'll have a look at LSL too then.

Thanks.
