Has anyone tried the LSL superbike low bars? I want something a bit lower than stock on my 2013 Ninja but not so low it hurts my wrists. I was wondering if there was any clearence issues with the bars, maybe hitting the fairing or tank?
I have the LS Superbike low bar on my 2012 ER-6F (=Ninja 650) for two weeks now and really like it! Handling feels a lot better and sportier now
Also, no clearance problems and no problems with the fairings or the tank.
I am thinking of getting LSL superbike Low bars for my 2013 650 Ninja. Any feedback from members who have been running these bars as to clearance from fairing / tank, comfort over longer distances and posture.
According to VolkerB there should be no clearance issues.
I have these on my '09. They are great.
I have a very small dent in my tank from them (with the oem bar ends on) otherwise no clearance issues.
I m using the oem bar ends but as the lsl bars are unthreaded you will have to work out how to attach them. I used the expanding rubber system from another pair of bar ends but have had to find a longer bolt and add washers etc to get it right.
Here's an old pic I found from when I did it. Pretty basic and once you start tightening it it'll expand the rubber into the inside of the bars. They've done a pretty good job thus far too.
So after quite a few kms and a 500 trip, my final impressions are excellent
The new stance is ideal for sport riding as it puts more weight on the front, allows easier movement on the saddle and offers more leverage and better handling of the bike in general.
After 300 highway kms I found the new stance to be more relaxed and comfortable for my body type. It is lower so my helmet generates less wind noise as it now is in the correct angle. Better elbow angle and easier to kiss the tank too. No extra fatigue on my back and wrists
In the city the extra width is noticeable only during manoeuvres which require the bike to come to a complete stop.
Highly recommended!
