Has anyone changed the handlebars on their 1150GS if so how did you do it and what did you use? Thanks JL

Fitting 1150R handlebars used to be a popular modification.

This ^^^^^^^

Bar risers and a set of Rockster/R1150R bars have worked for me. I went this route because the existing controls and heated grips were a straight swap.

fitting handguards to these bars is possible, but positioning is limited

The OEM hand guards worked fine with mine, but it took a while (and lots of trial and error) to get everything in the right position.
