BMW R1150R HANDLEBAR HEIGHT

Post by hhlebar »

Just bought 2006 R1150R, and I'm not happy with almost upright body position. Thinking about changing the handlebar with lower one, I found rockster and R1100S aftermarket handlebars. Does anyone know which are lower in comparison with R1150R handlebar?

Rocksters are lower than your R and will bolt on.....1100S are clip on style, no idea if they will fit your bike however.

R1150R Roadster and Rockster. Rockster handlebar has less sweep and less rise, resulting in hand position that is a few inches more forward, lower, and wider than Roadster.

I put barbacks on mine -- different strokes, I guess.

And I find the upright position afforded by the standard bars to be fine for me. My hands are relaxed without much pressure on my wrists.
