has anyone put wide handlebars GS style on a RS

timbatrader · Mar 23, 2020

I have a R100RS but are not liking the riding position I would like to sit up straight with less weight on my wrists and out of the buffeting coming off the screen has anyone tried putting wider higher handlebars on a RS they would need to come back a fair way to not clash with the fairing but I think it could be done I would be interested to hear from anyone that has tried did it work for you? my guess I would be up for new clutch, choke,throtle cable and brake lines so quite an investment if it is not going to work

From recollection this was pretty much the go to solution. Most else, as you say, starts getting a bit tiresome/expensive due to the fairing.

Or K75. Not an uncommon mod back in the day.

Edit: Steppers beat me to it and I would go with his advice re K75S bars.
