I just fitted the LSL Superbike Fat Alu Bars, they are about an inch narrower each side. They make my bike feel a lot better, maybe because I am not a tall person (5'6") and so my arms aren't so long.

I went for gold to match the gaudy forks. I hate BMW for using stupid little (4mm) holes in the bars to fasten the controls on, they make it impossible to move stuff around; I was nervous drilling the new LSL bars but I seem to have done it reasonably correctly, thank goodness.

Everything fitted back on the new bars OK, including my RAM clamp and Givi screen.

Next job is to get the bar-ends fastened on somehow, or maybe not at all. Might try using some Sugru I bought a while ago, just in case. Has anyone else addressed this task? I can't decide whether it will look better with them on or off. I like the gold ends showing but the bar-ends are quite classy.

Have you tried flipping them upside down to get that look you're talking about?

Is there a reason no one has suggested a high rise clip-on like this:
Spiegler Performance Parts - Clamps Offset High

It is less bulky and much slicker looking.

Is it because the bar is in front of the forks whereas people are using the adjustable (Like ABM) to get the bar in line with the fork to reduce the amount of reach?

I couldn't edit this in time.... ignore the above and just read this:

I know that option isn't the 55mm we require, but there are some out there:
HeliBars BMW S1000RR 2010-2014 - RevZilla
Harris Clip-ons

It is less bulky and much slicker looking.

I think may questions may have been answered here, but still curious if anyone has tried this type of solution.

Here are some photos...

Took the Pastranas off, compared them and installed the MA005Bs...

First impression comparing them to the Pastranas... mhmm :|

I just don't know... I still think the ABM clipons are the way to go.

Hi Mark looks like I'm copying your bike more and more LOL. So installing the bar this weekend and just noticed how really large the stock levers for brake and clutch ......what did you end up going with because these bars are at least 2 inches shorter on each side

 

[Marc - Australia]

Well, that's a compliment for me... Show some photos

I put on PUIG leavers, the large ones. Posted that some time ago here.

You won't have any issues... it'll be just fine.

Have fun!

How is the installation of new handlebars work? I'm looking at some rizoma bars, Is it just simply to take off the components and change bars? or do I need to modify the bars? I want all the original parts back on, even the bar ends.

You will have to drill the bars to take the switchgear and grips. Annoyingly BMW bolt their switches/grips to the handlebar using a bolt which goes straight through the bar on both sides. The standard bar ends are screwed into the stock BMW bars as there is a thread inside there to take the bolt. There may well be a way of fitting the stock end caps (almost sure someone posted about this) but I'm afraid I don't know.

1,5" bars

Does anybody know of some conversion kit that makes the Ninet accept bars that are 1,5" at the clamping point?

Really love the look of these ProTaper Tracker Outlaw!

Hi All, anybody know which bars Toys Garage Shaker is fitted with? Would like an upright position for a bit while my back settles (after wiping out Fluffy a few months back). Photo attached...

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Errrr......Fluffy???????

I'm guessing the bars are stock 9T ones with a cross-brace bolted on......

 

[BaldyDave]

Folks, I've been reviewing this thread and the content really doesn't seem to fit the thread heading. Not really a clip-on thread, more of List compatible bars for the 9T....

I'm going to change the thread title to something more appropriate.....

My vote for bars for the 9T goes to the Rizoma MA008B - narrower and lower than stock, sporty, but not a full racing crouch.... These are keepers!

 

[Squid]

Yeah, Fluffy McSnugglebutt, my 9T. She suffered some damage, but nothing too severe.

I was hoping those weren't the stock bars fitted with a cross brace. I was hoping they were some rad high rise, moderate sweep alloy rad bars. Oh well.

While on the subject of bar exchange!

In the process of removing Bar mounted 'Throttle controls' and left side as well - Is that a 10 Torx or a 7 ? I'm new to Torx and neither of my 2 Torx kits get that small - smallest I have is a T15x100 ... guessing a 15 - Crazy as this appears to be pretty small!
Any help at all - appreciated - need to get tools tomorrow if locally available - thanks-

Ah, awesome, thanks for the info. Do you know what year?

hi guys, so I just bought a rizoma MA005 in silver. Now that I have the bar and the tools, i'm not sure how to change them. Its pretty easy to remove the bar, but the big questions is how to remove those switches?
Would you mind sharing with me the knowledge of to do so?
Cheers..

There is a fair amount of information out in the forum regarding swapping the bars over courtesy of the search function, however to give you a helping hand here's what I did.

Has anyone converted the early black K1 bars to their R nine T? I understand from bmw that only a few oem k1 bars are available... These were my favorite early r bike bars

Thanks Dave for the links. I finally did it. It took me around 2 hours to change the handle bar. Right after I put everything back, the throttle wont move, so I need to call a technician. It was a quick 30mins job.

Now the bike looks much more cleaner and lower. i'm surprised how a handle bar can change a look on a bike quite dramatically.



A quick comparison between the original handle bar and the Rizoma MA005 affect the look on the bike.



Now the handlebar sits below the highest line on the bike, the top of the gauge. i guess this makes the bike looks cleaner. because you lean more forward, the bike feels sportier and more agile. The width of the handle bar is also narrower, which makes a lot more comfortable for me (because I have a narrow chest width). It changes the bike from a cruiser to more cafe racer.

Some additional photos:



Overall, I'm very satisfied with this modification. it makes the bike look much cleaner and sportier, as well as makes the bike feel sportier and more agile.
