Comfort and Riding with "Cafe" or "dropped" bars??

[Darin Jordan]

After rotating the bars up/forward last night, and then repositioning the control accordingly, it seems to feel a little better, though there is still considerably more pressure on the outside of my palm and on the inside. The bars just seem to "V" back too far.

I was looking at the Bikemaster bar styles... I'm wondering of the Euro style bars might be a better fit... Going to do some measuring...

Darin, I have the same issue with my Euro bars but haven't been riding the GS enough lately to bother doing something about it. I might go to drag bars or clipons.

I have Renthal ultra lows on my GS1100 and love them. They are fairly straight and a bit lower than stock, but not clubman at all. When I got the bike it had drag bars which were nasty. I'm 6' and the Renthals lean me forward a little but feel very natural.

Clubman bars really strain your neck as you try to look down the road, and they make turning your head to check your six nearly impossible. I have a set in the garage and they will remain there until somebody wants them.

Here is a pic of the Euro bars I have on there now. It is very comfortable, There is a minor, but noticeable increase in steering effort from the stock bars.

Until someone wants them eh?

I would love to talk to you about maybe working on a price!
I'll pm you buddy!
