BMW - the bars took a long time to get comfortable because they are phenomenallyadjustable, but I also have rearsets.

Until recently I was using LSL sports tourer bars, which are narrower and lower than the standard ones & are apparently very popular. They were really good for town riding, but I don't use the T100 for commuting much any more so I went for more of the cafe racer look. I still have the LSL bars if you are interested !

At my age I need the upright riding position the standard bars give me Did you take the air injection system off? One of the blokes at Jack Lilley's recommends that I do. Good advice?

Yes, took the AI off. I can't honestly say precisely what the difference is as I had it rejetted & fitted new pipes at the same time. Conventional wisdom is that it is worth it because it is supposed to let the motor breathe better, so reduces the heat going into the exhaust headers.
