just got my bars for my hybrid today. do you think they look ok on a full faring bike? used to seeing clipons also which front master cylinders do uses that look ab but trick with the separate tank for the brake fluid, comes with a little bar to hold it. i think the normal one might hit the fairing on full lock. thanks max      |

Flatter may work but fairing = clip one and naked = bars. :-)

I looked on the website and the road bars bend round more.
But are also higher.
Do you think I could change the risers or machine them down..?

Not by much I don't think
Maybe 5mm off the riser which ain't much

Do they work for you? Are you comfortable? If itās yes and yes who cares what anyone thinks?

Personally I'd be more concerned about the riding position bars provide rather than looks,...clip on's are neat etc but if I can hardly ride the bike, there's no point me fitting them.
I'd like to fit straighter/higher bars to my 4LO at some point but the hassle of finding longer control cables and switch gear wires is putting me off.

Flatter may work but fairing = clip one and naked = bars. :-) Agree with this, or bin the standard fairing, and go with a bar mounted version, no probs with M/cyl etc then. |

Hi For comfort, they look good. For looks - don't think they suit the bike in my opinion, but as said, if you like it that's all that matters. I'm guessing you are not sure, hence asking for opinions, but I think lower bars would look better. I think the clip ons that mount above the yoke as standard on these have the right "look", but you may struggle to do that now. Unfortunately, as with a lot of components, having the look that you want doesn't always mean you get the comfort  . I really like straight bars on unfaired bikes, but they are not that comfortable for me and cause issues with cable routing. I fitted low rise bars on mine in the end as it saved on loads of hassle, and just got used to the look of them. Regards front brake - I used a Gsxr750 K3 master with a billet ally pot which is the smallest I could find;  20171228_120433 by David Miller, on Flickr Couldn't find anywhere in this country that did the pot. It came from Australia !! Nice looking hybrid too - great job  Dusty  |

Nice looking hybrid too - great job Dusty thanks dusty, it looks like your risers are a bit lower too. i wanted to use clipons on top of the fork but as they are shorter it makes a harder. if the clipon are below you loose height. the biggest i can find is 3" which is the same height as orignal but one fitted below. unless i go for these www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pro-Caken-Performance-Stunt-Adjustable-Shift-Clip-ons-Handlebars-For-50mm/232399130729?_trkparms=aid%3D555017%26algo%3DPL.CASSINI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20151005190540%26meid%3D04e2c0883c1e4557b34d86741e678461%26pid%3D100505%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26%26itm%3D232399130729&_trksid=p2045573.c100505.m3226 |

It looks german to me. A lot of clip on conversions there.

What about adjustable clip ons?
I had some on my zxr750h2 and they were brilliant for me.
Just a thought.

Jotas bars were one of the many different combinations I had on my old 400 way back. As Steve says, multi adjustable Dusty |
