Fitted the standard KTM 950 SE bars onto my GS using adapter and Rox risers,it transforms the bike making it feel like a real bike instead of a GS.....

I normally fit renthal 613 bend,not quite as high as the standard bars but these are the highest renthal do,still nice and wide with a good sweep,in conjunction with a pair of risers they fit well,

Bars

The bars off the R1150R Rockster fit straight on, they are a bit narrower, and put your arms in a less out in the wind fashion, ideal if you don’t go off road and don’t need the additional leverage. Plus they are already pre drilled with the correct holes etc to fit the heated grips wiring, and you don’t need to modify hoses etc.
