VFR Bars on the 'Bird.

[Keith Winter]

Pete,

That seems quite reasonably priced to me; GBP 55 works out to about $95 US, which is on par with GenMar, but yours give a higher lift and seem quite a bit more secure. Looks like all I have to work out is how to lengthen the clutch hose (I'm quite sure it is too short) and maybe the brake hose. So, yes, please put my name on the list for a set.

BTW, about the annodization; is it a clear or aluminum color, or some other color? I'd personally prefer a clear or aluminum color, rather than something like black.

Thanks for the effort to get these manufactured.

Cheers!

-Keith

Put me on the list

I'm constantly trying different riding techniques at slow speeds, to relieve the weight on my wrists, so these have to be worth a try.

What do they look like?

Keep me on the list but I'm curious about what they look like. Can you show us without revealing to much patent info? Don't want any off us blokes ripping you off! :B

oh, Blkbrdrydr, What about those clearances with both the vfr & genmar's on? Do they rub the windscreen at all with them both on there?

Depends Reefer, if i'm off turing and they are on the bike anyone would be welcome, but if I'm out for a blast and the normal bars are on, nah

The wheels of industry seem to be a little bit slow at the moment but these risers are being made as we speak, as soon as I have one in my sticky little mit I will let you all know. Thats if anyone is still alive

Good to hear, Actually I've had some luck adjusting the stock bars to a more comfortable position. I've raised them up and rotated them out about 5-7 degrees & it makes a world of difference on the shorter75-100 trips. I'm still interested in some risers though Keep up the great work !!

Have they raised the height on the bars for the newer models, test rode a carbed one and found it really stretched, now I've got mine it doesn't feel that bad, more upright?:dunno: :bow:

 

[1200Pete]

:dunno: :dunno: :dunno: Don't like the painted bars on the new one's though uke:

 

[Jono]

Are they painted???:dunno: Had'nt even noticed?:dunno:

 

[1200Pete]

Go and have a look

 

[Jono]

You know I think your right!:bow: Still interested in the risers though.

 

[1200Pete]
