It's funny how "things" are often in the eye of the beholder, for some of us "dull grey" looks "classic, restrained and sophisticated"!
no they are off the ebay shelf spyke :lol:

Damn the brakes are strong.
I think that everyone should do this upgrade.
It s from a superduke and bought it from a friend.
Easy swap,no minor mods needed.

LOL, glad you're happy, but don't you be telling me what to do! :nerner:

Being a tight Scots git, I begrudge spending money on petrol AND brake pads, so I'm still on the original set.

[Actually I'm really uncoordinated, and prefer long flowing roads to technical ones involving lots of gears and brakes, each to their own.]

:shock: that isr mc is an absolute work of art! These are the SRT bars ,not today but yesterday i replaced my SRT bars with my stockers because i found i was leaning too far forward and became very uncomfortable on my neck and wrists on rides anything longer than about half an hour. Anyone interested in some italian made SRT bars setup for suzuki or raptor :wink: They are much straighter than the oem bars, also brake master will foul on the horns ,i could not find any aftermarket bars with a similar bend to the oem. After scuffing up the chrome a bit i sent my stockers off for powder coating (black) cant complain about $10 and they do a great job.

I like the way you've mounted that gear indicator. But can you see it when riding without moving your sight out of the road ?
Haha, you're not only one who doesn't like stock bars... Bought my third new bars hopefully they are the last. :D

The stock bars are best suited to the bike because of the horns , anything else will need some customizing.If these SRT bars had a 2 inch bend back towards the rider they would be perfect but of course you cannot bend the alloy bar . Checking the gipro is no different to checking the speedo ,its very bright also but can be adjusted , the gipro is best mod! I have a different master cylinder now which does not foul so much with the srt bars but if the bike ever tipped over there would be some damage done. Soon i will have the oem bars back on they are the most comfortable for me and painted black satin :toocool:

rode her for the first time in ages - FI flashing on the dash and oil light stayed on :( , so a mile to the local garage provided half a tank of fresh fuel, and by the time the new guy at the counter had given me all his 'oh by gum motorcycles are bad' stories (like they do) the oil had managed to warm enough and the fuel had mixed nicely so both the FI and oil light was off before I left the forecourt. :happyhappy:

Have you noticed any difference after installing gipro ? I mean has tre made your bike run better ?
