Hey all good ideas. Max do you have any pics of the stuff you have there. Not sure what it looks like but sounds to me that's what I have already. My problem looks to be the front brake line has no slack to allow changing the bars. So I'll need new brake lines. I blame it all on my main rider ... a BM1200GS which is like riding a big old comfy lounge chair. As for stomach clash with tank ... have you tried one of those kidney brace thingamabobs. A lot of the younger blokes swear by them and may help pull a few women at the pitstops.   ;D

Not sure if they're any further back as it's a long time since they've been on the bike but I have a set of the MT tapered bars and the MT Riser block that I'd sell.

Hi, Anyone fitted different bars to your MT. i think my arms are shrinking as I age and I find the reach to the flat MT bars a bit of a stretch. Anyone fitted bars with higher rise or swept back. Details appreciated.  Cheers  Steve

I have the same problem. It's the fuel tank that interferes with the space needed for my muscular stomach in my case.

try undoing the clamps and roll the bars back towards you a bit it can make all the difference and it's free :)
