My thanks too. Allows a bit more sit up whilst the forks retain their original height in the yokes?

Nothing needs to be altered.Fork height,cables,etc. all remain as before.There is about 2" difference,I suppose.It is nicer,and it looks standard.Make sure you get the bar ends with the bars-the "ends" or weights (whatever they are called) extend under the twistgrip for about an inch or so.

Sorry, a bit late to the party, here's my CBX550 bars/XBR500:

And now I'm embarrassed at how anky my bike is looking! Not lots higher, but they stick out more rather than drooping. If u can get them cheap, deffo an improvement (can now do a few days camping, or long day 300 miles plus.

Even higher might be nice...

Think so, but someobe who KNOWS might be along soon. It's not THAT much of a pain, and may be useful for other thngs too. And it's free.
