Hello every one,
I have the feeling that the steering bars of my R1150R are too far for me. Anyone knows a possibility for getting these bars few centimetres/inches back?
Regards
Robert

You can just loosen the bolts that clamp the bar..and twist them back slightly..and re tighten the bolts...That might give you enough.

I ordered and installed the Wunderlich Vario Handbar Risers:

I am quite happy with it.

I too have "short arm syndrome" and wanted to get a bit more upright riding position. I selected the moto-techniques risers (the largest rise/back version). Installation took all of 5-minutes. Riding position was improved - plus, I cut the plastic ties holding the cables to the handlebars. I simply put new zip-ties around the clutch/brake/electrical lines - no longer tied to the bars. This works much better and looks much better.

Hello All,
Thank you for the valuable information. The difference in the price is huge! What is about the difference in quality?
Stratus17, did you buy this “golden blocks†in Europe or it must be ordered from the link in the US?
NHighCotton, which one did you buy? Did you try it?
Regards
Robert
