From cherryriver at cherryriver.com Mon May 7 17:48:49 2018 From: cherryriver at cherryriver.com (William P. Zeller) Date: Mon, 7 May 2018 19:48:49 -0500 Subject: Handlebars- adapting ZG/GTR bars Message-ID: <1a45196b-3133-4ca5-a536-f66781e0abc4@cherryriver.com> While it seems odd to the point of silly at this very late remove, I am wanting to snatch the complete handlebar setup I've had on my GPZ since very nearly day one: a Storz adapter taken from my previous ZG1000 (GTR) along with the superlative Heli Multi Tour Sport handlebars. The comfort level possible with this outfit is astonishing, not to mention the many happy hours of geekily tinkering with the infinite adjustments possible.  I really needed this, too:  The stock bars were cruel to my poor neck, damaged in '85 when I fell through a roof structure I was building while neglecting to tuck in my chin as I passed through my beautiful new rafters at a shockingly high speed.  Disc damage has been with me ever since, and leaning forward in the sportbike manner is rewarded with days of neck pain from having to hold the noggin up and bending the neck to do so. (My days as a carpenter were also compromised by this- looking upwards for a day to, say, nail up ceiling crown moldings or constructing a kitchen soffit was agony not always mollified by the paycheck to come.) However, things change and I've given thought to plopping on a set of Concours bars for a cheap, fast replacement.  I just can't recall the conventional wisdom of this kind of transplant. Remains there anyone here who either tried it or can remember someone else's results?  Connie bars are cheap on Ebay nowadays but even so I hate to waste even that if it's going to result in windshield contact to any extreme. Thank you in advance. Bill Zeller Lemont, IL, And my Pearl-Greenish Black '96 sporting 101K on the clock.

I also couldn't take the bent over position and weight on my wrists. This setup has been heaven for me for a long time and brings the bars up over 2 inches and back about 2 1/2. I remember talk about the Connie bars, but it has been a very long time. I think you have to replace the front brake hose down to the splitter with the Connie hose for it to work. Maybe others on the list remember more than I do about that conversion. Charles S. On Mon, May 7, 2018 at 6:48 PM, William P.
