So, there's been recent discussion that led me to the conclusion of: I need to stop trying to make my fz8 feel like a super sport bike. Because it's just never going to be one. and it was a valid point. I need to just wait to buy a super sport bike...which one day I will. But that time is not now. Plus, the drastic change in riding position made my commute into work unenjoyable.
So I'm back to the upright riding position...and this time, with a set of bars that the local Honda dealership stocked. They're dirtbike bars...but they fit and they look cool. I love the wider grip too. All controls mounted up just fine. I can't tell you the dimensions of the bar though i.e. length, rise, etc. Pics attached show them mounted as well as a comparison shot with the stock handlebars.
Next up...some sort of tail storage or saddlebags or something. Ah yes...going to the opposite end of the spectrum: full on commuter bike!
oh yeah, I also went back to gold forks.
