R3R and GT owners

Folks if it's not too much trouble could you post a pic of handle bars while sitting on bike, I'm thinking of higher bars on a TFC.

Thanks in advance

I have been thinking the same thing for my GT, there is another handlebar and brakeline and wiring extension you can get, i'm debating them

I took these yesterday after riding the R.

I found the lean to the bars on the R to be a little to much for comfort over distance, but am I right in thinking the GT bars come back a little further?

You can see from the pictures that the GT bars come back a lot further. The GT foot controls look to be about 6” forward. At 5’9”, the more aggressive riding position od the R is better for my back. A 1” riser would help.

Much more comfortable bars - thanks to Charlie for letting me sit on to compare to R3r

For some perspective, how tall are you?

6ft 1 and not twiggy! - my concern is space for pillion.

Can you put the GT fly screen On the R? Seems like yes but they don’t offer the fly as an R accessory. I’ve never found that fly screens do anything for wind protection but this design looks promising.
