Handlebars changed out to straight LSL bars

Hi all,

I need some recommendations. I changed my original handlebars over to LSL bars. My first ride went very well. I really liked the bars being more upright and straighter.. This was a lot more comfortable. My problem is that I cannot get the clutch and brake levers at my desired angle due to the banjo bolts hitting the top of fork tubes. (See pictures)

I found a pair of Triumilynn brake/clutch assemblies which according to the dimensions would probably give me sufficient clearance. These are made in China and are a replacement model for the Japanese motorcycles. Does any one have experience with these or can you give me some other recommendations?

Thanks,

Bill Mersch, aka MisterBill

It looks like there's more room to move them to the outside of the bars. Try that? ..and use wonderful shorty levers?

Bmart,

Thanks. Yes, that would work, but I would definitely have to get the shorter levers.

As Bmart said, you have room to the lever clamps inboard.

Also, your handlebars are marked ABM  RL KBA 90928 0239. So, I dunno if they have the same shape as the LSL  AN1 bars that came with my kit.

Anyhow, here are pics showing the setup on my 2009 VFR.
