Title: Handlebar options
Post by: Jaguartech on June 02, 2024, 09:55:13 AM

92 K75RT, stock bars a little uncomfortable. Was curious what others have used on these bikes, a bit lower and farther forward would be better.
You guys have much more experience with these bikes than me, was trying to avoid spending money on the wrong choice.

Best regards all.

The next OEM size would be a C-bar; it would seem to match your description of a suitable replacement but I'm uncertain whether it will hit the fairing when turned to full lock. Mockup measurement would settle that, but somebody who may have tried one could chime in.

What you have now, an RT-bar

Do not buy 7/8" bars. Some sellers advertise them as being the same as 22mm. They are not. They are 22.5 mm and the BMW throttle and clutch perches won't fit.

Thanks much for the pics Laitch, anyway I could get ones from the side with bars laying on  the face with the grip area facing up?
Need to figure out the pullback distance.

Went through the 7/8" and 22.5mm issues  a while back with a /6
found out the hard way about Magura controls.

Much thanks guys👍
