INFO

My R11S came with the high "comfort bars". I never really had a problem with them once I dumped OEM saddle and installed a peg lowering kit.
However, the bars where still about an inch or so too far forward for my reach, (at least for my left arm...?). My body felt the pressure points after 100 miles or more. It made more than 2 hours in the saddle just too much effort.

I needed an answer, somehow...I didn't feel like gambling high dollars for products out there that STILL didn't appear to bring the bars REARWARD, with the exception of those REALLY nice, REALLY expensive machined tripleclamps that allow you to use tubular bars. Besides, that set-up was too radical, akin to supermoto ergos and not enough information about installation either.
I tried to research the KRS bars setup and couldn't find the right info either. Then there was brand "V" kit,... way too much dinero for my taste. " I just need a LITTLE back!"

I know, some of you riders are thinkin' "Why is he riding an S? If you want a touring bike, get an RT!".
Mmmmm, well, I've ridden an airhead S since 1981 and it suits my riding style. I love the modern S.
'Nuff said...
One thing I am proud of, is these barbacks don't spoil the looks of the R1100S, you have to look real close to notice that there is a difference in comparison to the comfort bars. Hey, it's a subtle mod!
It's all about how you're body fits to the bike, and we are all different aren't we?...
That said, these barbacks aren't for all of us S riders. But about 50 out of 50 people have tried 'em and love 'em!

This simple design has has given me resolve, and better ergos...
Sets bars +/-1.5" back and about +/-.75" higher. Adjustable concentrically like the OEM bars and as a result, also in some width.
This is a turnkey item for those bikes that came with the high (comfort) bars. No cables, wires, or hoses need to be replaced.
An allen wrench and a pair of wire cutters is all you'll need.
Stainless steel cap screws and installation instructions included.
Low-bar installation . Yep! They'll work with your lowbars too!
Note:Low bars without ABS require a longer brake hose.

Without the barbacks (above pic) my wrists rest on the bars at nearly a 90 degree angle, with my hands and shoulders taking all the foward pressure...for me this sucked!
