R1200 GS Handlebars

[spacey1]

Anyone have a set of R1200 GS Handlebars laying around. The bars don't have to be straight, I just need them measure and compare thicknesses and widths, fittings, bends, etc with the massive range of off-the-shelf items out there.

Obviously I would prefer not to remove mine and take the bike off the road unnecessarily
I'm looking to replace mine, I hate the bend.

Will return them when the exercise is completed.

Does anyone know which store has the biggest range of handlebars in Perth?

If it means that I have to ream something then I'm prepared to give it a go. There are many reputable handlebar makers around, like Renthal, that make proper fat bars with an infinite variation of bends. Maybe even with a cross-brace built-on.

Not interested in the standard BMW bend. I didn't like the bend on the 1150GS steel bars I had on the bike in Europe either.

There seems to be few alternatives available to the standard item and what is available is an identical bend ?

Am I missing something?

I just have to look at how uneven the hand-grips wear to know the bend is not for me.

Would appreciate if any of you interested in the exercise would chime in, there must be alternatives.

Nev is at brekky on Sunday
