I was wondering how the standard lightning bars compare to the wide bars on an XB9SX? That wide reach is actually really uncomfortable due to an old shoulder injury. Are the S bars narrower? Lower? Would that be a pretty easy swap?

Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

If you do a search, I seem to recall a very extensive list of all measurements for handlebars including stock and aftermarket, I think. Check KV. It would have been in the bars, pegs, seats, controls etc.

I can't answer your question, but that list might help also American Sport Bike has low bars for lightnings.
Good luck.

FWIW, I was told by the parts guys at a local dealer that the only difference is the color and the little motocross style bar across the top. Otherwise, dimensions are the same. I was also hoping to get something a little wider and higher, but the 9sx bar doesn't seem to be the answer. The bar from the Uly is quite a bit higher, not sure about wider.

I don't know if that link will help but I don't guess it will hurt.

Thanks for the links. I'm not actually looking for something lower, just not so wide.

I'll keep searching for the thread with the measurements, and let you know what I come up with.

Oops, I didn't see all of the measurements in that link, Speedfreaks...thanks!
