General topics » Wunderlich bars

Sorry if this has been covered before but couldn't find an answer using the search function. I've clocked up 1000 miles on my new RS and the bikes great. My only issue is the angle of the bars seems to be aggravating an old problem in my arms and shoulders so I'm thinking of fitting a Wunderlich super bike style bar kit. The instructions with the kit make it look a straight forward swap with no re-routing of cables etc, is this really the case or are there any issues I should be aware of before starting?

Also wondered if the standard fairing mounted mirrors were still usable with the higher bars fitted?

Cheers

Have you thought of just fitting bar risers they bring them up and back about 25mm makes a world of difference and about $30 online from china 10 minute job.

I actually like the riding position and don't find the bars to low, just the angle that seems to aggravate things. Plus I've already got the bar kit lying in the loft as I bought it second hand just in case.

I've got 1200R bars on my RS, which are a similar height / width to the Wunderlich jobs. There's enough adjustment in the mirrors to cope - with minimal view of elbows!

Thanks for that. Were there any issues with cable length etc when fitting the bars?

No. The R uses the same hydraulic lines as the RS. No problem whatsoever.
