Anyone rocking renthals?

[The Machinist]

I got my bars home and test fitted them. I snapped a couple pictures but it was starting to get dark out. Fitment looks really good. I've got to drop a couple more things off at the powder coat shop tomorrow. Once I get parts back and installed I'll have some better pictures. Stay tuned!

Ahhhhhhhh! Progress!
After a little re routing of wires and cables they're looking more complete. I just need to sort out the throttle cable so it doesn't bind and stick from the new angle. Aside from that, just waiting on about 23 bits of Chrome to come back from powder coating
Thanks for positive feedback folks. I'm really having fun with this new scoot!

If possible can you get someone to take a pic of you in riding position when completed .. be interesting to see reach to bars and actual seating position with the Roadster footpegs.

I'll see what I can do. It really doesn't feel uncomfortable. But then again I'm used.to leaning forward. It's still not as much as a sport bike tho. I'm guessing on a count of the seat height.

Lot of the Scandinavian and German owners run low bars .. seem to run rear-set pegs though. Back where pillion pegs are or a bit further forward.

I like the black color of the bars....adds a very different look (Much more than I would have thought).

Thanks. Looking at a before and after of the bike almost makes it hard to believe it's the same bike, and it's still not done.

Had to set the camera on the car in video mode but managed to pull off a half decent shot. Seating is not that bad in my opinion.

Not quite as extreme as renthals, but work for me really well being 6'3". As far as I remember from measuring them few months back they are 2 inches lower and 3 inches less pull back. Also few inches narrower.

Looks nice Jabol!
