Hello
My apparently standard RS had straight up bar risers fitted when I bought it.
The PO had not taken care of the controls positions and there are marks on the left upper side of the tank where the indicator switch was hitting the paint on full lock left.
I adjusted the handlebar position but in order to ensure said switch was away from the tank enough, I ended up with the handlebar ends so close to the fairing on full lock, that my gloved hands get glued between the bars and the fairing, which is unpleasant and potentially dangerous.
Thus far every attempt at positioning the bars ends up with one of the above two scenarios. I removed the risers and still there's no achievable position where my hands are not either glued to the tank or the fairing on full lock.
The handlebars are seemingly oem and flat with no discernable vertical rise or drop between the bar centre and ends.
They are however, apparently upside-down based on the fact that the hole for the fitted BMW heated grips faces upwards, not down.
Is this full lock predicament normal on a factory RS (mono and/or twin shock)?
First two photos, full lock left clearing indicator switch from tank
Second two, adjusted for adequate clearance from fairing, switch abrades tank.
Other photos show bar shape etc.
