So, now that I've been riding a few days since I got my bike. I notice that I'm more bent forward than I remember while test riding. I remember that dealer mentioned they had replaced the stock handlebars on the demo bike. Since I didn't buy the bike from that dealer, I feel embarrassed asking. I'm guessing though that the handlebar might be the issue. Does anyone know options for replacing the stock handlebar?

If you do a search of "handlebars" on this site...you'll probably find any info your looking for. There are LOTS of existing threads on this, covering just about everything from A to Z.

Anyone know?

By carpenter's ruler, it's 7/8 of an inch OD... or whatever the nearest metric equivalent would be.

"Standard" = 22mm. "Fatbar" (such as R bar) = 28mm.

Just picked up my new 2009 street triple over the weekend and have to say this bike is amazing. i was lookin to get new handle bars that are a little wider and taller, any suggestions? if i go taller do i have to change out cables?

Although this topic has been covered quite extensively in previous posts.... A short answer is, the stock cable have VERY little slack in them and won't allow much handlebar rise without extending/replacing cables. For bars, themselves, check out: Renthal, Magura, Rizoma, Protaper, Easton, Lsl/Spiegler, Etc. Hope that helps you get started.

Anyone know the rise, height, pullback etc specs for the standard striple handlebar? The triumph website only has the width which is 29.8. I want to get a higher bar but don't know the current ones specs. thanks

I'm trying to find an OEM replacement clutch lever bracket clamp for my 2009 Street Triple R. I looked on bike bandit but the only brackets I see are for the Street Triple (Bike Bandit #7532684-001) and don't show the mounting post for the mirrors. Are the Street R handlebars the same diameter as the Speed Triples? I ask because the Speed Triple's clutch lever bracket clamp (Bike Bandit #5568434-001) does depict the mirror mounting post. Thanks for the help guys. And as some free wisdom for y'all, never do rushed maintenance. You end up buying new parts :-p
