Also, how do the raised bars affect vision in the mirrors? Dave Bradenton Fl |

I don't own, but have ridden both and I like the riser better for feel and control but it makes the mirrors all but unusable. Wind factor is a little bit more because you are upright. I have a customer who made some changes to the stock mirror mounts to move the mirrors outside a little. |

Bar end mirrors fix that problem, my only concern was the wind factor cause of the more upright position, but a pro could be longer rides with less fatigue |

i have barend mirrors on my CR with the Club bars they work 1000% better than stock and make the bike look sleaker. the stock one all you see are your shoulders and the road by the rear tire |

The first mod I would make on the bike would be to replace the bars with the high bars and change out the mirrors to bar ends. It would be a done deal. |

Ive sat on both. The cafe bars feel just like Im sitting on my R while the raised bars feel like my lightning whick is the most comfortable bike ive owned. 500 mile trips were a breeze, not so sure about the R yet. |

My conversion is going to be soon . I love the cr but I'm very uncomfortable after only a half hour or so of riding ! |
