Not likely at that price..  Though they do seem to use the ultra-rare 8.8 bolts with "ultimate corrosion resistance" zinc plating like the motion-pro chain adjusters....

Will all hoses and electrics still be long enough?

Probably will if all you do is swing the bars forwards. If you set them higher it might be tight

Yes, nice to see bolts with ratings for a change in a critical function.  I didn't know 8.8 was rare, they're the cheapest usually !  (oh wait, cheap isn't profitable, doh !)

Pretty sure they will be very tight at 2", i have 1" risers and would'nt like to stretch anything longer, they would probably just fit but may be a problem on full lock.

Someone on here has them, can't remember who though. :unsure2:

 

I considered getting some a few years back, they were less expensive then but only available as an import from across the pond.

 

Be interested to know if you get some fitted Favs. :good:

Dunno if they are 2" though Studs, i think PTB and Picard have them but seem to recall there up and back, mind that prolly equates to 2" as well thinking about it.

Decided to look for alternative bars which may help with my Needlez n Pinza.

 

Thanks for the input folks....... :good:

If cables are a bit tight, just move the control (throttle, clucth, etc) in along the bars a little to give more slack.

 

Favs - have yo tried some form of padded wrapping on your grips - something like raquest grips? The get very mucky very quicky but I think thet help. Got mine of fleaa bay for a couple of quid for half a dozen. I also wrap the clutch level to take the edge off the cold for this time of year.

You could gain 10mm by dropping the yokes 10mm on the forks

I have fitted that type (but not that price). To get the bars far enough back, it was necessary to re-route the left switch cables. You then hit maximum on clutch cable, throttle cable and front brake line limits. The result is the hand-grip position is higher but rotated further forward. I too have a long back but am not sure if I gained any more upright posture which is what I was aiming for. The Suzuki handguards do not touch the fairing on full lock. BTW, the fork height in the clamps changes nothing about cable or hose length limits on a 900.
