    New Bikemaster European Bars

    This weekend I put the new bars on my bike, much more "sporty feeling".

    Seems to be a bit more of a handful at low speed but I think that is me getting used to it. Appears to be more feedback in corners but I haven't done enough to be sure yet....

    No cable or brake hose modifications needed. I had to release the headlight from it's bracket & pull the hose & wiring through then re-attach.

    Some adjustment required on the throttle cable & clutch cables.

    I'll report more as I use it & try to get some pics up soon....

      I've got euro bars too. Love 'em. Only problem is vibration.

        I have manic salamander bar end weights on mine... not much vibration at all with those in my opinion.

        Damn pricey though!

        Made some adjustments tonight, rotated them back a bit, they were a bit of a stretch for me..... Try again tomorrow. I'll just keep playing with them till I get it right.

          Hey Salty Monk!
          Could you be helpfull with the dimentions or a web link for these bars?
          They look like exactely what I'm after for my GS1100, and I'm not familiar with the Bikemaster Bars.
          Also, what kind of mirror is that I see - damn nice one.


          Regards

            Mine are Euro Cafe. Any bike shop can order them. I got mine locally. They're cheap.....

            I'm 5'8" - the superbike bars would have been too much of a stretch for me for defo.

            Mirrors are unbranded off Ebay. Can't find them or the seller on there at the mo... looked at feedback, none left so I don't even really remember who he was.....
