Has anyone changed their bars and want to sell the stock ones?

I'm interested depending on price - UK only

What's happened to yours?

Nothing, I’m having problems with my hands and want to experiment with angling the bars differently but don’t want to use mine in case it doesn’t work!

What sort of problems, if it's not personal?

What sort of problems, if it's not personal?

I've got very arthritic thumb joints (all my fingers are affected but thumbs are worst) - this has got significantly worse in the last year and is affecting me riding in as much as it's very painful to hold the bars, particularly the throttle as I can't rest the thumb like I can on the clutch side. I have tried a palm throttle and am not going to do that again on the bike as it's lethal! :ambivalence:

I actually love the position of the bars, so don't want to go lower or have to reach more as this will make the problem worse. I want to try and see if I can angle the bar ends down slightly so my hands are in a different position which may or may not alleviate the pressure on my thumbs.

Some on eBay - currently £18 with no bids so a bit of a steal!

How about risers and move the bars back?

I have my original bar, but shipping will be expensive, better search at ebay.
