Pretty sure I got the hbar mod from THIS FORUM! Bars are the same design, maybe a couple of inches higher at max so look standard at first glance but take a fair bit of weight off middleaged wrists. Can JUST get away without changing cables, brake line, wiring (I think I raised the headlight slightly to get the wire length). No need to drill top yoke, all can go back to standard.
Will try to take photos.
MT03? Looks and sounds great, handles and brakes, very forgiving and a huge laugh. EXCEPT sore bum within 5 miles, sore shouldersto follow. It's the only bike my wife has ever got a sore a&£e on when on pillion (she is much better padded than me). I had a Triton with a wooden seat and that was ok (vibro massage helpful).
Bought inflatable Airhawk seat which helps lots (did 200 miles one day), but it really is horrible. Now they are 10 years old, there will ge rust everywhere, it's a Yamaha (I think Italian) and ridden by nutters, really bad owner profile except me and Forum readers
. Mpg drops like a stone above 60 or on mway, but...it dows look lovely. Oh, luggage melts VERY easily, high exhausts get hot enough to melt stuff that even gets NEAR.
I bought rear rack, centre stand, and had extended battery keads for charging, testing, and electric jacket. It's an hours labour to get to the battery.
ALMOST a wonderful bike. Almost. BUT DON't do it.
