Just had my Rizoma handle bars fitted. Very happy with the end result. It gives a very comfortable riding position and looks great.
And the grips look and feel awesome.
The only thing is the guys who installed them rerouted the throttle cables over the top of the brake lever to avoid to much stress on the cables. The Rizoma handle bars are wider than stock and they did shorten them a little.
I'm not sure that I am too happy with this. The switch block and throttle housing is a little further away from the brake reservoir than normal to allow the throttle cables to clear the brake reservoir. This means the brake lever doesn't quite line up with the grip like it used to.
Has anyone else mounted these bars and maybe have some tips as to how to get the best result.
