Dave,

Did you have to do anything with the clutch or brake lines with the new set of bars?

And if you don't mind answering, how much did that set of bars run you?


Thanks.
 
I did the opposite, replacing my R1200R bars with a pair of ST Bars, which ran about $175. The bars are pre-drilled for heated grips, and have nuts welded into the ends to receive bar-end weights. Problem was, the R tank is so bulbous and forward mounted that the ST bars banged the tank when fully turned, until I added two pairs of bar risers. The improvement was small, so I went back to stock after a few weeks. Grips and mirror mounts exchanged between the bars with no complications.

The R bars are about an inch wider in each direction, and about 1.5 to 2 inches higher in rise. I would be surprised if the stock lines reached comfortably.
