I was chasing a set a couple of weeks back for my Blackbird after hearing
about them on this list. (Re: blackbird for touring)
Am still awaiting delivery on order placed 19/10/05.

I purchased some Helibars a whiule ago for my YZF1000, good quality & fit.
Paid around $275 for them.

Which YZF... RJ, or R1 ?

Thunderace. 1.5" rise and 1.5" back vs stock, from memory. Another option is
Vee Two bars. Multi-adjustable, billet alloy, but circa $600.00.

Sprint

 

Hmmm, six hundred bucks... I'm not six hundred bucks worth
of uncomfortable with the sitting position on my Thunderace (RJ).

(Actually, I find it to be quite OK)

Why would you want to change a thunderbus?, if you're getting sore wrists
you're not riding fast enough!

 

I don't want to change it, I love it how it is. Just interested
is all. The only mod that my Blunderbus has required to date is
the air horns, and that was a *bastard* of a job!

How is yours going? Second gear?

I'm 196cm tall.

Purchased a pair direct from their website for the Monster.

Very, very good. Highly simple to install. Bought it a month ago,
took 4 days to get here once I paypalled the order.

So far, extremely happy with it. Haven't had a chance to go for a
longer ride yet, but sorted out the commute shoulder pain with the
Monster straight away.

 

BTW, my total including delivery was $AUS113.51 for the monster ones.

 

Just received a tracking email from them...risers posted today, shipping to
Australia $9.
Seems there was a hold-up obtaining them from the factory.

thought 2 weeks off work $400.00 in medical bills and extreme pain due to
neck and shoulder de generation bugger

 

Yep from Gen Mar. Finally got the chance to go for a longer ride down
the old road today.

Perfect. No shoulder twinges at all from it now.

 

Bewdy. Do it again tomorrow! See 'Netride spin tomorrow' thread.
