bar risers?
Hey everyone, great forum. I was wondering if anyone is making bar risers for the 05-06 600rr, i've found them for the 03-04, but they have standard forks right? How long can you guys ride at a period of time without your wrists hurting? I've got a bandit 600 and have had it for a year and a half, but am buying a new 600 in the spring, my family has always ridden hondas, and the suzuki is the first non-honda i've personally owned. Would love to get a new 600rr, but i ride for at least 4-5 hours straight at a time on the weekends, and from what i've read the new 600rr's place more weight on your wrists than the 05 r6's and the 05-06 zx6r's. Do you guys find your rr's uncomfortable on longer trips? Thanks in advance.

i too went through the same issue. i went with the helibars and liked the more comfortable position. but i missed the low aggressive stock clipons. i recently switched back. if i had it to do over again, i would get a set of convertibars. they are adjustable. they can be set high (maybe even higher than the helibars) and can still be adjusted back down to the stock position for corner carving. they are pricy. about twice the price of helibars. they might be worth looking into.

Like fretless33 said... elbows down and keep then in close to your body. That'll give your arms a bit of a workout, but after a few days/weeks you start to build up your arms a little and you’ll feel right at home. Same with your knees squeeze a little on the tank and it will hold you back a lot. I only have this fatigue problem in town or slow traffic, when I make it to one of the interstates... I'm lying on the tank. And for those that feel sorry for interstate riders.... you're doing it wrong. With all of the clover leafs and straights, you get the best of both worlds.
