Subject: Advice on Handlebars and exhaust? Wed Sep 07, 2022 5:04 pm
I’m 5’9 and finding my ride position not the most comfortable for anything over 20 minutes any bars that would bring less of a reach or better angle? Also looking for recommendations on a aftermarket exhaust that has a nice “burble” something to compliment the motors unique sound

Onur's bar risers are effective. Bar choices are there. Mana bars, Rizoma make a couple of sets that will work with the original cables.

I am the same height with stumpy legs (29inch inseam)
I had my saddle repadded to push me 50mm (2 inch )forwards that makes the bars an easy reach and puts the footrests back so i lean forwards off my arse and into the wind - gives me 11hr a day comfort.

Onur's risers are a big help. Aprilia Mana bars work a treat, they are narrower than stock, and with a more comfortable bend, so less of a reach.

Another vote for Onur's bar risers-get the taller ones. I've also fitted Rizoma Fatbars MA009B with more pullback, height and they're narrower. It would work for someone your height.
Edit-the cables fit fine with no mods. I had a devil of a job getting one handlebar bolt out.

Added a 3/4" stack of washers under the existing risers with longer bolts
