I was wondering if anybody has had a chance to compare the stock "clubman" style bars on the CR versus the "taller" handlebar that is available for it. I like the way the clubman bars look, but they still force the rider to lean forward more than I find comfortable. Heck, I just lately installed a set of 1" bar risers on my cityX, and the bike is so much more comfortable- wish I had done it 20K miles ago. If anyone has gotten around to doing this mod, speak up....  | ||

I have all the parts in house to do it. Just need the time. Had to go in to work today to clean deals... If I get time I might attack that tonite. I have an appointment to have the dealership do it on the 27th, so if I can't get to it by then, I'm gonna let them do it. REALLY looking forward to it. Rob | ||

Take a look here b4 you go the CR route: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290 431/404042.html?1224679353 My impression of the CR seating/ bar position is that it is not that different than the r. Sit on one and compare b4 you go that route. Neil S. | ||

My dealer has installed the optional bars on their CR in hopes to appeal to more buyers. I sat on it last week and it feels nice. It reminds me more of the XB12STT. | ||

I went by the dealer a couple days ago to compare the 'CR' riding position. If anything, it lays you out more than the 'R', not less. That said, I really like the looks of the bike - looks like something flying out of Hades... I would like to see one with the high bar conversion. Jack | ||

Jack: That was my impression of the CR versus the r also. | ||

Hey guys, The clubman bars work for your speed cornering to get your torso over the front and works great. I have demoed the bikes back to back and the R has the comfort edge at higher speeds. I had our service dept. install the high bar kit and it feels like Tri spd triple & Tuono. Great for all types of riding & gives you more leverage for countersteering & pulling wheelies. Estimated cost $400. Enjoy........ |
