Title: WTB - wider handle bars
Post by: richarddacat on June 02, 2016, 10:32:43 AM

I'm looking for about 2" additional overall width to my stock K75c standard bars.

I've read that K1 bars are wider  but have been able to find some for comparison.

I'm finding myself holding the bar ends more often than not.

Any suggestions welcome.

greetings cat...

k1 bars width measure the same as c bars butts 2" wider...

butts im thinking the grip angle is more like rs bars... which means instead of kinda sticking straight out they will be kinda pointing to the ground....

i have ridden with all 3... c = sit up... rs and k1 = lean forward...

i gotts the photo of them at home... will post up when i getts back there...

id be calling the bike breakers... if you dont like them you can always sell them...

oem sizes... (http://www.motobrick.com/index.php/topic,570.0.html)

Thanks, look like the tilt back more than "C" bars but definitely wider.

May see what Flanders offers.

If you can't find any bars that suit you, as a last resort could always get your old bars sleeved and extended by a competent welder.

Flanders BMW Euro sidecar bars will extend your width by two inches. You'll be in a lower, more forward position also, unless you opt for barbacks.

I believe the sidecar bars will be too low.

But thanks for the leads.
