Hello all.
I had a pair off these fitted to my GSA LC. It is necessary to fit risers to stop the bars fouling the tank. I saw these bars in last months adventure bike magazine fitted out to a really nice GSA. I have been waiting for ROX risers to produce their anti vibe risers for some time, but the delays have been ongoing for some time and I wanted another solution.
BMW fitted these for me, there is a You Tube video but I am no mechanic and the bike is still under warranty so I didn't want to mess my bike up.
Only done about 50 miles so far. First thing to say is that the bike was never really that bad for vibes. But I did feel the need for foam covers on the grips. I do suffer with tingles in my right hand sometimes and i relieve this by dropping my hand by the side when riding. I don't have to have ridden far for this to happen.
I have not needed to do this so far with the new bars fitted. The bars are clearly 2" higher now which may be something to do with it? But I can say the bike feels smoother through these bars, and I would not swap back
I swapped out the suspension bits from red (off road) to the blue an yellow which are more designed for on road use and a bit softer to pick up the vibes and deal with them.
Gotta do a proper road test as soon as I can. But at the moment really happy with the decision. They do cost a bit for the bars (over 350 dollars, plus a BMW kit to resize the bars for the clamps), but I am not looking at them as expensive bars, these are a bit of kit I bought to enhance my riding experience and seem to be worth it for me.
