R1100S Handlebars....low and high standards?
Posted: Sat Dec 07, 2019 11:30 am
So I picked up another R1100S (to replace my ride to work VFR750) last night.
When looking around the bike I noticed that the bars were above the top yoke and thought 'simple job for tomorrow' was to put then back under the yoke where they should be, as I had done with my last one....but.... on closer inspection it would appear that these are a different standard of bar.
The old ones had a location hole that bolted underneath the yoke. These have a tab the sits into a slot in the front of the top yoke?
So are there two different standards of bar for the 1100S?
If so has anyone a spare 'original' under the bar version, either for sale or swap with the over the bar version?
Or might I just have to get used to a higher bar position as the over the bar version doesn't seem to have the necessary clearance when under the bar......8u993r!
