Them there bars in the first picture look good to me.I don't suppose you would have to trim the fairing at all would you?

Hi Simo
I agree the drag bars look better, but for some reason it didnt "want" to go round corners, and had to be "steered" round which was a bit of a suprise after riding with the standard bars for 6-7 years, now it falls into bends again and am using all the tyre tread! and its way more comfortable.
I did cut the fairing to fit the bars in the first pic but not by much and the only way i can see to avoid cutting the fairing is to use steped or angled back risers, then you might find things hitting the tank, and to be honest they look abit pants imo. anyway its a bit of an ongoing project so things may change yet again, looks awesome with the drag bars and no fairing at all, but then theres the radiator thing !

The tank pad does look a little thallic but nevermind, other than the fact its yellow, its very nice!

:P

PS. Noticed the kill switch is engaged, curious as to why? Also, how does it handle with those bars on?!
The garage used to be my home office so it has heating ,carpet, internet, cd player, tv, oh and a fridge with beer :biggrin
and a lot of other junk the wife insists gos in there now its not used as an office.
Dont know why the kill switch is on dont normaly use it !
Didnt handle too well, so now has other bars on !

What's wrong with a yellow one?? Not my first choice either, but it kinda grows on you after a while!!ImageImage

Yellow means that you can hold up a piece of broken fairing plastic in court and ask the judge how comes she didn't see me coming before she pulled out?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
