Getting Old

hello all,i`ve got a Daytona 600 also early arthritis in thumbs and wrists (awaiting crude jokes) I would be better off with a 675 triple but im poor so has any one had any experience with the adjustable clip ons that you can raise up about 3 inches or so,i want to keep all the fairings on so making a streetfighter out of it is a no no,thanks.Steve

 

Hi Steve, I've just done an Ebay search and there's loads available, you just have to choose how much you want to raise 'em, any pullback etc.

Don’t beat yourself up. With me it’s the ischial tuberosities but I have nearly ten years on you.......

 

hello all,thanks for the replies this was the sort of thing I was looking at

 

Gillies Vario bars are good too..

 

Many thanks gentlemen

 

Before you purchase new bars, try these, only a few quid each, enable you to take weight of the palms by placing the heel of your hand on the lever when required. Less stress on the thumbs as well. I have arthritic ands, these have made a considerable difference to the enjoyment of every ride ( Scottoiler cramp busters )

 

Because of arthritis in my wrists, I've fitted a set of these

on my Tiger. Very cheap, around £30 on ebay. Very well made. Very adjustable. Very satisfactory.
The throttle assists are also available on ebay for 99p.

 

I decided to go for cnc top yoke conversion. Not cheap at £200 but going to be worth it so I can ride my Daytona without sever neck/arm pain due to a surfing injury many years ago

 

hi, just got a cnc rope yoke and bar riser, bit clueless on how to fit, normally can work this kinda job out but any tips pics etc from your conversion would be great help
