Handlebar mods

I want to change the handlebars on my '07 VFR. Any suggestions on Genmar risers, Gilles Variobars, or Helibars? How about handlebars instead of clipons.VFR With Handlebars.jpg

I have the LSL Superbike conventional bar swap on my bike and love it. I tried Heli Bars too. They were better than stock, but still not high enough for my liking.

I love my Genmar Risers. Much more cost effective than other options available. Granted I'm 6' so I don't have to reach too far, but they allow me to tuck under the ST windscreen in bad weather, cold temps, and faster speeds or I can sit straight up for regular comfortable touring/riding. Perfect mod for a perfect bike IMO.

Thanks for the reply. How much higher do the Genmar risers put the clipons? I'm 5'11", but my wrists are trashed and after about 20 minutes, I'm using my nylock cruise control and switching hands to lean on.

By the way, if that is a picture of your red interceptor with the four tail pipes...NICE! I have Leo Vince dual pipes that look nice and sound great. Do you have other pics of your bike, handlebar setup, other mods, side shots of the pipes, etc? I'd like to see them.

You're not supposed to lean on the bars..

Genmars raise the bars 19mm which is more than enough unless your name is Teutal.
