    Any experience in fitting a wider and higher handlebar to a sports bike?

    My Thunderace will no longer be a track racebike, and my typical ride is in
    mountain twisties, where ton plusing is hardly possible.

    Plan B: Make a supermotard out of the XR600.

    Yes on my GSXR1000. Bought a complete top yoke conversion with Renthal
    bars. It worked just fine. See it here.

    In uk.rec.motorcycles, Domènec amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:
    Yes, it's a bit breezier.

    I quite liked it, in a speechless-wibbling kind of way. Oh, and a few
    friends liked the look of your new steed when I showed them pictures
    the other week.

    I still prefer it the way it was intended, which is how it is now. Flat
    bars just don't do it for me.

    Were any of these friends young female and good looking?

    That did have a major bearing on my decision.
