I'm laughing at this thread. I have 5 or 6 stock H2 bars - all bent from my many crashes. Several tree's too - even the ones I'm using now are tweaked. Such as I ride (and crash occasionally). :o

I remember now that the extra weights in the ends trebled the shipping price . . . plus, they were an absolute biatch to wrap for postage :roll:

All the Aussies, and the Europeans, on this Board, want you to use lower bars than the stock H2 bars. Flat "Drag" style bars are best, but "superbike" bars (not called that for nuthin') are O.K. It is a basic improvement as to how any of the Triples operate!!! :think: :lol:

I'm actually the exception to that rule, I prefer the higher U.S. Bars, my bikes tend to spend a lot of time on the back wheel and they are so much easier to control with the U.S. bars, with the 4 inch lower Euro bars I find the bike is heading over backwards before I can get it back down again :roll:

I like the more upright seating position that US bars give you...not just 'cause I'm old ....OK, just 'cause I'm old. :cry:
