I ran one summer with a 16 on the front! Made a diff in pickup I could tell based on racing the kid...but anyway, It worked nice, a few hundred more revs on highway didnt bother anything, but it ate my chain up way to fast! No more of that, will go up on rear next time I care.

I read vfrbennys post a long while back about the 1984 vf1000 bars...finally tried it! :)

Hey! I have no issues at all with the stock bars..I do a couple 1200 mile days every summer and never find it a problem as I lay on the tank with my chunk of foam inside my jacket! I think they are perfect for solo! But! I also use this bike 2 up occasionally as I tried, but I just hate driving a cruiser! Not even trying any more as wife comfy on the vfr anyway! Ok for her but for me it sucks then as I cant lay down and leave the wife sticking up there, so I try to sit up far as I can and that dont work for long! I usually run the stock bars up at the top of the tubes, but thats high as they go...:) So I tried this and they work great! Just enough up and back to let me sit up as far as i want to with some forward lean still to keep the butt from going numb! Dirt Cheap and just as good as the helibars I tried on another bike!...Everything fit fine, I just had to route the throttle cables inside the right fork,now lots of slack. not enough before. Drill some new pin holes for the switchblocks. I did cut the ends off the bars and drill and tap them to put the big weight ends back on! I lined up the gap in the bars with the gap in the top clamp and they fit me and the bike perfect! I will give them a shot of silver paint next time they are off when I go solo trip and they are done! I would take a good look at any clipons the right diameter from the old days, might be lots out there.

so just some pics if interested!

Thanks for the idea VFR Benny!!!
