In talking with my dealer here in Dallas, wondering if anyone is running their triple with Drag Bars instead of plain stock handle bars?
I'm not to thrilled by the wide grip, would like something like I had on my S4.
Any thoughts?
thanks guys

HI Redrum

I've 30" drag bars , with bar ends 33" on my S3, I've not had much chance to do much mileage as we can only go round in circles over here, all the fun of living on an island, after about an hour of flicking it thru the twisties the wrists tend to need a good shake to get the blood flowing thru them again, but the bars do look good, I,ll see if I can get a piccie up tomorrow.

what you reckon then?

Nice. I suppose another thing I have to keep in mind is ergonomics and how much it changes the handling of the bike. Being slightly height challenged, 5'-10, how much of a reach problem would this be?
Also considering putting clip-on's.

I'm only 5'8, and the reach is fine, it pulls you forward into more of a streetfighter style stance, the bike handles great, the steering is fast and accurate, It workss for me around the the TT course - lays you low along the straights then tucks you into the tank thru the twisties, methinks I'll close the shop now and go for a blast, hope the boss don't come back today.
