Anybody ever lower handlebar from Hyperstrada ... there is two spacer. I wonder if it need something special like get new shorter bolds after removing spacers.
Thanks
 
There's another thread regarding this topic. I just lowered mine and feels much better (at least to me). Just flip the bolt and you'll be fine. No need for a shorter bolt.

This.

Just remove the spacers, and put the bolts in through the bottom and nuts up top.
 
Took the blocks out and lowered the handlebars. Bit of a fiddle, especially the crappy nuts they use. Definitely feels better and gives that not so crowded feeling. Did Mt Glourious and Mt Nebo there and back this morning. Nearly 200ks of twisties.

One of you said 'put the bolts in through the bottom and nuts up top' is it possible to publish some picture ?
 
I completely replaced both my risers and handlebars. Way more comfortable to me. They have a little less sweep back and are lowered over an inch.

Good thing you got the "Racing" fuel cap. I was starting to wonder if you were a real man or not.
 
Wasn't exactly my choice what FG Gubellini put on their gas caps.
 
Any photos of the bars from another angle? I was debating getting some of a different bend.

How did you get ride of the screen brackets that stick out when you take the screen off?
 
Here is a set of Renthal "ultra Low" bars with a set of Neken motocross risers. I stayed with 7/8 bars vs Tapered because I wanted a greater variety of bends to choose from.

That's a whole new carbon piece up front. That was done by the first owner, but I believe that removes that whole piece as he gave me the windscreen and bracket for that in a separate box.
