Default handle bar height 1100xx

my wife wants me sitting more upright to give her more wind protection on the back. I tried vfr800 bars that improved it but need to bring bars up and back a further inch. Any suggestions?

Hi,

First, I understand your wife's concern.

I have Convertibars on mine (www.convertibars.com) and highly recommend them. Not only are they fully adjustable, but you can actually adjust on the fly (during a ride) with an allen wrench that tucks away in the throttle side.

Check 'em out!

Thanks NC. The pictures on the site look ideal - even the Mrs was impressed - might encourage her out on these cold days - start of winter here.

Good thoughts Ripp'n! Answer to your question is New Zealand. Had a great ride today - fine weather, just a little crisp - you'll have to learn to talk kms/hr and get down here for a ride. G.P

I talked to a guy on a blackbird the other day, he said 'heli-bars', maybe that'll help.

I think that the Convertibars would be what you are looking for from what I have read, I am going to get some VFR800 bars myself in the near future just to give my self a bit more room and take pressure off my hands.
