Tried searching the forums for threads related to the FZ1 handlebars but search isn't working for me (as in, it returns no hits no matter what I put in as search terms).
I pretty much cannot stand my FZ6 bars. The way my hands meet the bar, all the pressure is on the outside edge of my palms (on the outside meaty part) and on a long ride this gets real uncomfortable. I have to actively flex my hands "out" to have the bar lay neutral across my palm and that is no better.
Maybe rotating the bar towards me a bit would help but I've been considering the FZ1 bar mod that many seem to rave about, or maybe a Rizoma bar. Any input on one versus the other? And where might I find me an FZ1 bar, other than the Yamaha parts catalogue?
If I did order the bar from the local Yamaha shop, are there any other parts I will need or do I just need the bar?
Cheers,
Mark
