    Hi guys,

    after some higher bars for my bike. Any suggestions on whats available or interchangable here in Oz? Lots of stuff around for the later models but nothing for the earlier ones.

    Any help appreciated :)

    clearance

    I have F2 bars on mine and have tried many others and all have clearance problems with dash and upper. Levers touch upper at full turn and high rise REALLY get into the upper. I have given a lot of thought to one peice bars but have not tried it.

    Thanks for the reply - yeah that seems to be the problem. I've seen some highrise ones on an '88 model that aparently didn't give any problems. The cutout may be bigger - not sure.

    Thought about flat bars too but you would probably run into similar problems unless you removed the top fairing all together and made it a streetfighter?

    Don't want to have to sell it but may have to if I can't find a solution :(

    flat

    I have flat style bars on mine and they do just touch in garage type turning.

    I'm not familiar with F2 bars. Any chance of posting a pic for me?

    There ya go big fella:thumbsup: I think it is a 90-93 VFR 750 triple clamp with F2 fork tubes and bars. I did this mod in 1993 so you will have to forgive my guess but I am pretty damn sure that is what they are.I have tried many others and it is all but hopeless with OE Honda bars.
