Been trying to look for alternative handlebars for the GS, as a short rider would prefer something a bit shorter and with a little more backsweep
So far all I can find are Helibars
Can anyone suggest other handlebar options or comment on Helibars, if anyone here has them
Thanks
Hello! Im a short rider and currently trying to fix my BMW R1250GS's ergonomics. Theres some tension building on my wrists when I go on lone multiday rides, usually it stars by some numbness on my pinky, and then afterwards my pinky nail goes dark like bruised, the same way it dies when you hit your nail with a hammer.
Anyway, currently when I ride, may arms are quite stretched out and I cant do the "doorknob grip"
I'll need to lean into the bars to be able to bend my elbows enough to get that doorknob grip going.
One of the things Im thinking about doing is getting Helibars, as shown on the pic, or doublestacking the handlebar risers. Both options would need me to re-route the cabling otherwise I may run out of slack.
Has anyone tried to reroute the cables on the handlebars this way? What issues did you encounter?
Also, has anyone tried doublestacking handlebar risers? Would like to get some thoughts and opinions on these
Thanks!!
