Plan on ordering 1.25" genmars,
Redo seat with gel (locally $80 )
I have buells 1"drop pegs on my TL1000S ( can ride EXTRA hours )
but i noticed no one has these:
TwistedThrottle.com : MFW Vario Footpeg Mount, Rider (Suzuki DL650/DL1000 V-Strom, GSX-R600/GSX-R750 08-, GSX-R1000 05-, GSF1250 Bandit, Hayabusa 99-09, & B-King) - MFW.051.06.11.30
say them at the International Bike Show. look MUCH nicer that the buells, but cost more..

5'10" 170lbs, 1.25" bar risers, and now a Corbin seat(so much better than the gel seat I had) no more wrist or back pain:thumbsup:

I'm 5'11" 185. Stock seat, stock everything. 30k miles in 22 months on my 08. Longest ride in one day - LA to SF...and 2 speeding tickets that day too:(
I'm thinking I may do bar risers or buell pegs but I'm scared of clearance in the twisties.
 
What are bar raisers?? I am 6'9 and get the occasional neck pain after riding for about an hour or so. Will bar raisers cure this? I already have the buell pegs installed
 
I'm running the Helibars which are about perfect. Wouldn't mind getting another 1/2 - 3/4". Anybody know where to get longer lines? or if I need them?

3/4" risers are as tall as you can combine with Heli-Bars without the bars hitting the inside of the windshield.
You also do not need longer lines, even if you use both. Any taller and you would.
Site sponsor Pashnit has Galfer ss lines in different colors and lengths. SS lines will improve brake feel and are worth buying regardless.

Wow, 4 years old...and it poped up in the "New Posts" section.
Caught me slippin:laugh:
 
I have helibars and 1 inch soupy risers with double bubble screen, just turns lock to lock.

Nothing will compare in comfort to LSL bars, it will completely transform the riding position.
