I am looking to see if anyone has lowered the handlebars on a GTR1400 as I find the sit upright position a bit limiting when I want to play through some twisties.
Any advice would be appreciated.

hmmm,

can you purchase some sort of risers and run them updise down?

got pics of what your dealing with? ie handlebars?

I raise mine...you want to lower your's

Unfortunately the risers for a GTR are a block that the original handlebars mount on with extra length bolts so I cannot invert them.
Nice idea though

Nothing has been made, that can't be modified

I am currently waying up trading in for a ZX14 or a hayabusa. But the touring benefits of the GTR (and change over $$) is making me look at the options to convert the GTR into a sportier ride.

Teheeeeeee :lol:

I think it really comes down to just finding a fabricator in your local area though if you really want to lower them....?

I raised my bars on my GPZ750r ( 900 same ) & I believe the GTR has a similar fit...send me a photo of your bar base and measurements & I may have 2 options for you
