Re: Maybe Time For A Change ?
I had a set of oggy's on my gen 2 fz. I'm not that big of fan of them, seem to slide further and fuck more things than just a fairing, but I found where they were situated, I could put my feet up on them just to gain a different position for a few kms and stretch some different muscles. Seemed to help on long distance rides.
But you ride chook chasers as well mate, so just spend a bit of time on the pegs for a stretch.

You might want to try one to actually feel what its like.
Also, hasn't one of your mates got a Multi? give it a try; a super punch 160bhp V twin, 17" hoops at both ends. comfortable, exciting, and a look that grows on you
Nothing is jumping out at me yet. But thanks everyone for input so far.
Gonna get some Helibars for the GSXR. They've had some great reviews.
It's 22c today so gonna take it out with a more open mind.

Given that my old verniers are a bit shonky and due for replacement, I'm getting 49.995,so it's a pretty safe bet they are a 50mm.

Re: Maybe Time For A Change ?
From memory,they were less angled and more straight than the stock K3 bars. They were also longer,which I discovered I really liked.
I tried to show the angle in a couple of shots,to give you an idea.
