Hurricane Handlebar Kit Fully Setup

[Yahya]

Hello everyone!

This thread is actually a continuation of my previous thread about custom handlebar setup question for my 2010 VFR1200F. Since I proceeded to go with the Hurricane handlebar kit setup, I think it is better to start a new post since it is already off-topic to the previous thread.

 

The shipment via EMS to Oman was in-time with the estimated delivery time (surprisingly fast). The kit came as a bundle and was decent.

The kit is high quality I can say. The instruction given was Japanese only, so I used Google Translate, but overall setup was easy. The handlebar came with pre-machined switch holes and bar-end inner weight clip holes. I decided to took the inner weight from the stock handlebar and put it in the Hurricane bar, it worked perfectly.

 

After tweaking the position of the handlebar with several rides, I found that the best is at the highest bar-end point but not yet hitting the engine kill switch at full lock left turn. Actually, the full lock left turn range was reduced because the throttle cable hits the windshield fairing. But, the full lock right turn was not reduced, only it hits the lo/hi beam switch. Also, it was needed to rotate the clutch bar so that not hitting the mirror. 

 

 

With that setup, the longest ride I did was 200km 2 hrs ride, but I had to refuel after 1 hr ride. Overall, riding position was almost upright, and I feel I can ride all day. No more back pain for me after riding.

Hurricane kits will do that. 👍
