    R3GT bars on a R3R?

    As the title suggests, anyone done this? Standard R3R bars are a little too far forward for me. How's the ride comfort after doing so? Don't own the new ones, still got my old Rockets.

    Lifting a Roadster safely

    On my old R3 , there are lugs on the frame under the motor which i made some unequal angle brackets with pins to engage with, providing a stable lifting point for my trolley jack. Owl uses them as well. I have even once forgotten to remove them and were quickly reminded they were there as i...

    T bars and lifting the tank

    If you have T bars, how much drama is it to raise the tank ? I imagine you have to take bars off as you cant pivot gauges anymore? Is the riding position equivalent to risers and Valkyrie bars or even standard bars in hand positioning?
