Handlebar GURU needed.
« on: December 29, 2019, 10:40:42 AM »
The search is on - I'm trying to fit shorter bars to my recently acquired '91 K75. It came with the standard RT high bars and I'm looking for an alternative. I have a set of RS/S bars that are just too short for me. It appears that the 'C' bars are no longer available. The part numbers are still active as a custom order but they have been back-ordered by BMW for nearly a year. This usually means 'no longer available'. Is there a BMW handlebar expert (GURU) out there that knows which parts from other bikes might be close to the 'C' style bars that will also have the 22mm bar size? I have tried all the usual sources, even Flanders has nothing close to this dimension.

Are you going to keep the RT fairing?   I may be wrong, but the RT bars look like they could be necessary to clear the sides of the fairing when the steering is at the locks.   

I don't know of anyone who has put C bars on an RT.  It would be nice to know if they would fit because I'd like to put them on my RT.
