just wanted to get some opinions from people who have switched the cafe bars to the standard bar kit, Pros and Cons wind factor, comfort, any pics of the standard bars on the CR | ||

Also, how do the raised bars affect vision in the mirrors? Dave Bradenton Fl | ||

I don't own, but have ridden both and I like the riser better for feel and control but it makes the mirrors all but unusable. Wind factor is a little bit more because you are upright. I have a customer who made some changes to the stock mirror mounts to move the mirrors outside a little. | ||

Bar end mirrors fix that problem, my only concern was the wind factor cause of the more upright position, but a pro could be longer rides with less fatigue | ||

i have barend mirrors on my CR with the Club bars they work 1000% better than stock and make the bike look sleaker. the stock one all you see are your shoulders and the road by the rear tire | ||

The first mod I would make on the bike would be to replace the bars with the high bars and change out the mirrors to bar ends. It would be a done deal. | ||

Ive sat on both. The cafe bars feel just like Im sitting on my R while the raised bars feel like my lightning whick is the most comfortable bike ive owned. 500 mile trips were a breeze, not so sure about the R yet. | ||

My conversion is going to be soon . I love the cr but I'm very uncomfortable after only a half hour or so of riding ! | ||

Babies. I've sat on my CR with clubmans for 8 or 10 hours at a time! |
