Lower Bar Risers

I'm curious how an inch and a half or two lower would feel. I see here...

that it's been done and he liked the results. I'm 6'4 and I could get away with a little lower bar riser, still be very upright and comfortable when wanted and then get low more comfortable also. I know lower is definitely not the way the majority go but I definitely don't need taller and I'm curious as to how shorter would feel and perform.

I was looking for an inexpensive experiment. Does anyone know if say the Blackbird, Superhawk or something else with shorter risers would swap over? Anyone out there done this? Thoughts?

You need 45mm bars, VTR1000F and Blackbird are 43mm.

2003 CBR600RR bars might work, I think they were 45mm (the model before they went to USD forks).

Ok so 45mm is the size. I think the CBR bars are regular supersport style and have no rise to them, I think that might interfere with the body/fairings.

I'm kinda surprised that this hasn't been tried on a 6gen.

VLJ,

VTec VFRs have 43 mm fork stanchions, the same as on the CBR1100 XX. They are ~0,75" lower than those on the VTec and would offer an oe look.

Btw, Phantom is confused about fork sizes: 1990-2001 VFR750/800 and all VTR1000F are equipped with 41 mm forks.

Ok, 43mm...gotcha. .75" shorter sounds good. I should be able to find a used cbr1100 xx setcon eBay.

Another possible source is cbrxx.com.  VFR bars are a common swap for 'Bird owners and there might be some on the forum with a spare set laying around - maybe for cheap! 

Cool...thanks
