Author Message   Xodot Posted on Friday, May 22, 2009 - 01:36 pm:        I spoke with Al Lighton today since I am looking for a set of bars which will move my hands forward and down while riding. He explained clearly how challenging it was to find a set that will fit between the tank and faring from lock to lock. Al was unable to recommend a product for me. Have any of you had success in finding bars for your S3?   Dragonwing Posted on Friday, May 22, 2009 - 02:03 pm:        I just added a set of 'euro bars' to my S3. They are a factory part and still available. You WILL need to also add a set of fork bumpers (also a factory part and still available) to keep the bars from hitting the tank. It's a nice set up and doesn't require any change in the lines and cables. Bar is about $75 and the bumpers will set you back about $15.

Thanks, X   Sleez Posted on Friday, May 22, 2009 - 06:48 pm:        i have the K-N bars that are no longer available, i was able to get them adjusted just right so they didn't hit, i think the bend was called "superbike"? p/n 90-003, 27.5"w x 2.5"r x 6.5"pb x 4.75"cw also bought some from flanders that were close; see a bunch here; http://www.SideRoadCycles.com/ImportedMotorcycles/ ImportHandlebars/ImportHandlebars78.html (Message edited by sleez on May 22, 2009)   Buellistic Posted on Friday, May 22, 2009 - 09:15 pm:        Xodot: "i" solved that problem on my S3T with X1/M2 handlebars ... An easy RETRO FIT ... MAY THE LONG LASTING BUELL BE WITH YOU !!!   Jrobm2 Posted on Friday, May 22, 2009 - 10:29 pm:        I'd like to see a pic of your factory Euro bars setup too.   Xodot Posted on Sunday, May 24, 2009 - 04:22 pm:        Buellistic: What do you mean when you say it's an easy Retro fit? Is it simply a matter of bolting the X1/M2 handlebars on or are other parts needed to accommodate the change? Did you find the change in body position with the X1/M2 handlebars improved comfort or handling? Do you have the part number handy for the X1/M2 handlebars? Thanks for your help with this.

"i" did take a CLAMP,handlebar to a machinist to mill flat(spacer) on one side as the handlebars need to be raised 3/4 of an inch for me ... COMFORT and Handling: Felt more comfortable for me and the handling suited me better as the handlebar is a little wider ... Handlebar,S1 PN 55925-96Y MAY THE LONG LASTING BUELL BE WITH YOU !!!   Xodot Posted on Thursday, June 11, 2009 - 03:14 pm:        Handlebar,S1 PN 55925-96Y has arrived and I hope to be installing it this weekend. I have the factory manual for guidance. Are the FM directions good to follow? Any shortcuts or "whatever you do..." kind of comments??? Thanks all.
