    Hi
    Anyone swapped there handlebars for something different and if so what did you fit and what were the reasons for doing it?
    Wider/flatter/more rise etc?
    Any pics of what you've put on?
    Any problems with the fitting or is it straightforward?
    Cheers
    Steve

    I fitted a slightly higher bar as i am short and wanted a bit less weight on my wrists. Easy job with no probs.

    Renthal are a popular choice, nice range of colours and styles,widths,height etc. You have to be careful of going too high or wide tho as you will need longer cables,if you go on their site there are measurements available. I have them on a Sprint and they are cool, look great in black, less vibes and superbike medium have a good angle to them. You cannot use standard bar ends on them on my bike unless you make up some expanding fittings, I used rawlplugs on mine.

    Hi, can I ask what name bars you have and what height they are. I am also quite short and find the new bars a bit of a stretch,
    Regards

    Hi Dan, i have fitted the Rizoma fat bars as they are very similar to the Triumph profile and i went for the 50mm high bar.
