After four years since I sold my last Bird (riding a CBF1000, Hornet 600 and Triumph Adventurer in the interim) I have finally realized what I was missing and come to the conclusion that I will have to live with the backache and bought this one...
A 100 mile non-stop ride on Saturday has convinced me that I need mirror extenders and higher bars. The mirror extenders are a simple purchase but as far as the bars are concerned it appears that there are three options, and I would appreciate some advice from anyone who's had to solve this problem:
1) Bar raisers from Jaws. Reasonably priced and an easy fit.
2) Straight bar conversion from Jaws. More expensive and more work to fit but does this give any more height than the 28mm bar risers?
3) VFR bars. Difficult to find and expensive but an easy fit. These give about the same height raise as the Jaws bar risers but can they be used in conjunction with bar risers? I wonder if the cabling is long enough to allow that?
Pleased to hear your thoughts.
