    You definitely had the same issues as me Daniel with the bars on the Racer. The AC Schnitzer bars were a great improvement but still not enough to make the bike comfortable enough for me.
    Unfortunately there is no more clearance on the BMW fairing to enable risers to be fitted - the clutch and brake reservoirs already catch it on full lock!

    This is why mine looks like this now!

    I've now also fitted AC Schnitzer adjustable levers, much better looking than the Wunderlich ones!

    Yes Steve, I did have the same issues. AND I actually bought the RS without knowing that there was a solution!
    It is just too breathtaking to look at.
    I thought, if riding hurts too much, I just park it in my backyard, sit on a deckchair, have a single malt and a cigar and drool over it ;)

    But now, with the original risers installed, even riding it below 90 Kph is fun. That really was a good investment!
    On Thursday, the bike has its‘ first inspection. 1000 K

    Cheers!

    just to confirm: high risers installed with the fairing - no issues whatsoever with clearance or function? did you install the risers by removing from the top with yoke removal or at the bottom by removing the forks?

    i'd very much like to replace my "low" risers for the higher ones. appreciate any insight.

    thanks
